Teach and draw Manga in the art classroom with KS3 students. Manga (comics or graphic novels) are a Japanese form of visual storytelling which are increasingly popular outside of Japan. Over the course of two lessons, students receive an introduction to the history and cultural significance of Manga in Japan and as an art form and will also create their own character, illustrated in the Manga style. There are accompanying video interviews with contemporary Manga artists and basic face and expression templates for students. Comprehensive background notes are included for teachers so the lessons can be taught with no prior knowledge. An editable version of the PPTs are available on request - contact education@japansociety.org.uk. More resources related to Japanese culture are available from The Japan Society website.
