The Big Update Part 2!

So....if you have read part one, you kinda know what I did with the 7th graders, but if you haven't here's the skinny...
We got together as a group and each class came up with an idea for a short comic with 6 panels. They came up with what was going to be in each panel, and then they broke up into smaller groups and each drew a panel of the comic on a sheet of newsprint, which they later re-drew into a much more final drawing, and used markers and pens to ink their pencil lines. I then took their drawings, and drew my final version of their comic. There were two 7th grade classes and so I ended up having to paint 2 separate comics.

The first class wanted to tell a story about a lonely Jellyfish who happened to be an actual jar of jelly. He traveled the ocean after being kicked out of his family to find a friend/someone to love. He came across the following characters: A marshmallow pufferfish, a sea cucumber who owned a ranch, a tuna fish (who happens to be shaped like a can of tuna)and a cracker fish who are in love, and a mushroom manta who ran a restaurant. After being ignored by all of these people he comes across a peanut butter fish, and they live happily ever after...

The second class wanted to tell a story about a penguin at the beach. The penguin would drive to the beach, make a sandcastle, eat some ice cream, go surfing, shoot out of a whales blow hole, and end up forgetting to put suntan lotion on and go home with a bad case of sun burn.
Kids come up with the strangest things....
As I said in part 1, I start my Art History lecture tomorrow. It will span 2 days, and I will do as I did with my big comic lecture and put it up on the site for students/anyone to watch and listen to...It will take me a few days to edit it together this time though...expect it to be up on the web by the beginning of next week. I made 2 silk screens today for fun of page 7 of Into the Dust #1. If they turn out well I might start selling shirts with the image on them....
