BUILDING CHARACTER

GRADES 6-8

Students work with illustrator and artist Jesse Smolover to learn about the fundamental concepts behind character design while exploring how personal identity, relationships, and unique lived experiences have shaped some of your most favorite fictional characters. After studying the backstories and critiquing the artwork that makes up their favorite characters, students will learn the fundamental concepts behind character design and delve into their own relationships and identities to develop and illustrate memorable, unique, and evocative characters of their own.
