This Spring, Kameleo artist and professor of illustration, Christian Hill will be teaching a new comic art course through UCLA Extension...

Making Funny: A Course on Creating Comics

Six Saturday sessions from Feb. 4 to Mar. 18, 2006

This course will take advantage of the unprecedented retrospective exhibit of comic art, "Masters of American Comics," held in Los Angeles at the Museum of Contemporary Art and at the UCLA Hammer Museum. The first session and the last three sessions take place in the classroom, while the second and the third sessions consist of guided visits of these two museums. Students will learn the basic mechanics of comic art storytelling through analysis of existing comics and creation of their own. To enroll, go to the UCLA Extension website and type "Making Funny" in the keyword field. To learn more about this course, you can download a workshop outline.
