Testimonial
"I highly recommend Jason Edwards, who has easily earned a spot as one of the "must-have" performers for our library. His lively manner readily engages the children no matter what program he is giving, and his programs are always well thought out, well executed, and very entertaining. As a bonus, his programs always carry a special message of encouragement and empowerment."

Description
Kids build storycrafting and illustration skills as they create their own comic book adventures!
They design characters, choose settings, and advance the plot - then bring their stories to life both visually and with words, learning to turn simple lines and shapes into fantastic scenes and images!
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.
