Hello students, meet Professor Skeletor.
At the core of Making Comics is her certainty that creativity is vital to processing the world around us..
Barry teaches all students and believes everyone and anyone can be creative.
In a new hand drawn syllabus detailing her creative curriculum, Barry has students drawing themselves as monsters and superheroes, convincing students who think they can t draw that they can, and most important, encouraging them to understand that a daily journal can be anything so long as it is hand drawn.
Making Comics is the follow-up to Barry s bestselling Syllabus and this time she shares all of her comics-Making exercises.
Doodling is enthusiastically encouraged.
There is no academic lecture in this classroom.
For more than five years the cartoonist Lynda Barry has been an associate professor in the University of Wisconsin Madison art department and at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, teaching students from all majors, both graduate and undergraduate, how to make comics, how to be creative, how to not think.
The goal is more rock, less talk, and we communicate only through images.
No time for introductions, we start drawing right away.
Be on time, don t miss class, and turn off your phones.
Hello students, meet Professor Skeletor
