Wham! Pow! Creative Comix Lab Rocks Typography!

This past Spring my 4th and 5th grade Creative Comix Lab students knocked me out with their brilliant typography skills. We used  Linda Scott’s “How To Be The Best Bubble WriterEver” as our guide.  I really can't recommend this book enough.  

 A lot of my students struggle with handwriting, but this book has such a great, approachable technique for creating hand-drawn letters.  The kids were able to make create illustrated alphabets in no time.  We used their newly acquired skills on posters, comic book covers, Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) and door signs. 

This year, I'm going to introduce them to Keith Haring and Public Art.  I'm excited!
