It Can All be Done in Three Panels, or More!

I've always wanted to incorporate the use of comics and graphic novels into teaching the arts.  I think utilizing creative writing and mixing it with illustration can produce some interesting lesson plans and fun creative problems to solve.  It's mainly about my love of comics and graphic novels and wishing to share them with more people but it's also about helping people understand how much the media needs to grow away from what has become the status quo of popular comics today.

Now to my surprise I discovered this website of a teacher who has been using comics as teaching aids in his art classes since 2002.  The teacher's name is Jeff Sharpe and he decided to combine his love for reading and creating comics with his love for teaching to help in his students' education.

The site, located here, has a plethora of tools and lessons to help a teacher wishing to explore comics with their students in the art classroom.

It is nice to see that someone with a passion for comics went out of their way to help spread teaching comics in the art classroom.
