Join professional writer and artist Kody Chamberlain for a four night course on Story and Art where you'll learn a highly versatile and in-demand skill set that includes concept development, outlining, story, scriptwriting, character design, storyboarding, art production, and business. The skills taught in this course will apply directly to things like children’s books, comic books, graphic novels, storyboarding, concept art, character design, web comics, newspaper strips, editorial illustration, entertainment design, editorial cartoons, manga, and more.
Classes are on Tuesday nights from 6:30pm to 8pm, and run from May 23, 2017 through June 13, 2017. Since our venue closes at exactly 8pm, we'll likely wrap up a few minutes early each evening. Our venue is the Hobby Lobby classroom located at 5622 Johnston St 200, Lafayette, LA 70503 (far right back corner of the building). Note, this class is hosted by Hobby Lobby, but they are not involved in the planning. Their staff may have the classroom schedule, but they will not be able to help you with any of the specifics of this course.
