I strongly recommend that you read through the articles in the reference section below as many others have covered the concept of comics in education in far more detail than I do here. Tom Hart illustrates how comics address many of Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences in this short article. A single pane in a comic can represent paragraphs worth of written material in a manner that is enjoyable and effective for the early or challenged reader.Ĭomics also have the ability to meet the needs of students in a variety of learning styles. A comic can also be a stepping-stone to more complex and traditional written work. Comics can help early readers or readers with language acquisition problems by providing visual clues to the context of the narrative.įor more advanced readers, comics can contain all the complexity of 'normal' written material which the student must decode and comprehend, such as puns, alliteration, metaphors, symbolism, point of view, context, inference, and narrative structures. The written component of a comic can be introduced when the early readers are ready to connect words with images. Why Comics in the Classroom?įor the pre-reader, a comic can be purely graphical in nature and help provide practice with sequencing as well as concrete to abstract transitions using illustrations instead of written words. From pre-readers to high school students, from English to ESL to Science and Math, comics can help students analyze, synthesize and absorb content that may be more difficult when presented in only one way.
Comics have some great uses in the classroom and in a variety of curricula. While there's still resistance to this medium being used in education - whether by staff or students - there is also a growing movement to use every valuable tool available.
#Comic life template movie
Pictures used in preview movie are not included with this project.Īudio is not included but you can find it on audiojungle./ Artist name is Soundroll, and the track name is HOPELESS, great track, by the way.There's a long history of comics in the classroom, and the list of references at the end of this article is a great starting point for learning about this concept. You can put some particles ( or birds like in the preview video) or you can put what ever you like. They are additional layers in between front and back video used for some moving parts of animation, ephisizy the 3D envirement of the project. You have also included for every place holders two additional layers(total of 62 layers). You can eventually use picture or video without alpha for front element but than background elements cant be viewed. Two main elements are front and back layer, so for back layer you can use any picture or video you like and for front layer you can use picture with alpha or video with alpha(so background elements can be viewed). I try to create something universal, something that can be used in wide range of productions.Įvery picture has 4 elements two main and two additional elements. By using pictures or videos, you can lay out layers over each other in unique way of telling your own story. This robust project is created to isnspired your own creativity.
“Comic Life” project is created entirely in AE.
