Be on time, don’t miss class, and turn off your phones. No time for introductions, we start drawing right away. The goal is more rock, less talk, and we communicate only through images.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than five years the cartoonist Lynda Barry has been an associate professor in the University of Wisconsin–Madison art department and at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, teaching students from all majors, both graduate and undergraduate, how to make comics, how to be creative, how to not think. There is no academic lecture in this classroom. Doodling is enthusiastically encouraged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking Comics\u003c\/i\u003e is the follow-up to Barry's bestselling \u003ci\u003eSyllabus\u003c\/i\u003e, and this time she shares all her comics-making exercises. In a new hand-drawn syllabus detailing her creative curriculum, Barry has students drawing themselves as monsters and superheroes, convincing students who think they can’t draw that they can, and, most important, encouraging them to understand that a daily journal can be anything so long as it is hand drawn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarry teaches all students and believes everyone and anyone can be creative. At the core of \u003ci\u003eMaking Comics\u003c\/i\u003e is her certainty that creativity is vital to processing the world around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLynda Barry\u003c\/b\u003e has worked as a painter, cartoonist, writer, illustrator, playwright, editor, commentator, and teacher and found that they are very much alike.
