In the summer of 2015 Tim Fielder joined Aspen Words to teach a week-long Graphic Novel workshop to high school students from the Roaring Fork Valley in Colorado. The workshop explored fundamental concepts such as storyboarding, a study of “camera” angles, evaluation of dramatic structure, and an analysis of model graphic texts.
Here is a sampling of student work along with a behind the scenes peak at the process of graphic novel creation.
