COMING UP WITH AN IDEA AND A PLAN
MY STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES AS AN ARTIST BEFORE STARTING MY PROJECT.
Jade didn’t think there were any strengths in her drawing so she asked a friend, Aidan, to see what he liked about it. She has used his comments to identify her strengths.

MY ACTION PLAN
Describe your project idea here. What are you going to make, why? What will you use to make this project.
To collect research I will:
- Look at artists who write comics
- Look at webcomics
- Find out what materials would be good to use
- Look at comics that are good at telling a story
- To prepare my project I will:
- Practice drawing
- Create character profiles
- Try out new materials
- Come up with a story
To create my project I will:
- Draw drafts of the comic in pencil
- Create the final draft in pencil
- Ink in the final draft
- Colour in the final draft
- Get feedback from Melanie along the way
To evaluate the success of my project I will:
- I am going to publish the final comic in the school magazine
- I am going to ask people what they think of the comic
- I will judge the comic against my goals
- I will ask my teachers what they think
