“Kids don’t remember what you try to teach them. They remember what you are.” – Jim Henson<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Summer is almost over and that means school will soon be back in session, albeit in a very different and much more challenging way than usual. Whether students are in the classroom or learning from home, using a tablet or a pencil and paper, one thing is certain: their teachers will have a lasting impact on them, as our teachers had on us.<\/span><\/p>\n

So please join cartoonist and teaching artist <\/span>Alex Nall<\/span><\/a> for a comics workshop celebrating our favorite teachers, and how they shaped us into who we are today. Alex will lead us in writing, drawing and designing our own page of comic book art using memories from elementary, high school, or beyond. Simple set-up and endless storytelling possibilities await! No drawing experience required. Only honesty, openness, and creativity are required to craft your story. Afterwards, you can send a copy of your mini-comic to Alex, to be included in a zine that will be shared in print and online.<\/span><\/p>\n
