11. NEW PROJECT: COMIC BOOK CREATION
Have you ever wanted to create your own comic book? Well, in this project you can! We'll be covering all aspects of comic creation, and by the end of the project, you'll have made your own comics. There is a $35 project fee, due at the first meeting, to cover books (that the project will share) and starting materials, but you can come to the first one to see if it's what you want to do for sure before you pay the fee. If you saw Christina Bless' presentation at any of the Presentation Days, you'll have an idea of what will be covered and the final product.
This is a county-wide project, so we've been told you don't have to do a transfer form; you can just put it on your enrollment form as you're enrolling in projects right now. If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call at the numbers below.
Come jump into the amazing world of comic book creation!
