This document provides instructions for two activities: 1) Creating a comic strip using a favorite cartoon character. Students will search for an image, insert it into a document, and add word balloons to tell a story in a comic strip format. 2) Alternatively, students can create a comic strip using paper, pencils, and pens by drawing a joke in 3 panels with a 0.5 cm gap between each panel. Precise measurements are required and letters must be readable.

Activity Sheet

(Week 5)

A cartoon is a single panel image usually used to convey


an idea. A comic is a story told using sequential panel images.
Sometimes the terms cartoon strip or comic strip are used
interchangeably to describe a hybrid of the two.

Activity 1: Comic Strip Making


Materials: Laptop/ desktop PC
Software: Inkscape or MS Word

Read and understand the direction.


1. Search for your favorite cartoon character or superhero.
Save this image.
2. Open the software Inkscape or MS Word.
3. Copy and paste the saved image in your open MS Word.
Lay out it according to your preference.
4. Be sure the elements of art and principles of design are
present.
5. Make a comic strip about this. Use the word balloon
under the Insert menu. Click the shapes to see this word
balloon.
6. Finish your artwork on time.

Activity 2- Alternative
Alternative for Activity 5: Comic strip Making
Materials: Long bond paper, ruler, pencil, sign pens, technical pens
and coloring medium
A comic strip is a sequence of drawings in boxes that tell an
amusing story; typically printed in a newspaper or comic book, but
now can also be seen in web pages.

Do the following:
1. Look for typical knock-knock jokes, or “hirit” or “hugot” jokes
you want to use for your comic strip. For this activity, human
or non-human characters can be used and what is it, is a free
art style. However, a strict compliance must be made in doing
the comic strip.
2. The panels must measure 3 x 9 in. and the letters should be
inside the letter box. The letters should be readable and the
panels are measured consistently.
3. Divide the rectangle into 3 boxes measuring 3 x 3 in.
4. Ink and color your work.
(Note: A more professional approach is giving at least a gap
of 0 .5 cm from one box to the other. Thus, the length is
more than 9 inches. This gap is called white space that aids
in the readability of the comic strip.)
5. Follow the steps done in lessons 3 and 4 in terms of drawing,
inking and coloring.
7. Finish your artwork on time.

Alternative Material for the Activity 5b:


One can use 3 square Sticky Notes to act as each panels of
the comic strip. Adapt the 0.5 cm gap between boxes.

Alternative Material for the Activity 5c:


1. Pre-cut the size of 3 x 3 in box using colored construction
paper or bond paper.
2. Draw on each box apart of your comic book story. (The
advantage of this technique is that if one commits a mistake,
they can readily omit the box).
3. When the comic strip is complete, line the border of the box
with a black permanent marker. Adapt the 0.5 cm gap rule
between boxes.
This comic strip only used clipart. Observe the spaces and the
word box working with the illustration.
Spacing is critical in a comic strip so as not to overwhelm or
confuse the reader.
