Testimonial

Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions.

Description

Kids build storycrafting and illustration skills as they create their own comic book adventures!

This multiple session workshop incorporates both storycrafting lessons and illustration tutorials, with iterations designed for a wide range of levels of ability from beginners to advanced storycrafters. Mix and match lesson components accommodate any elementary and middle school grade level, time frame, or curriculum goal.
