Comics Classes for Early 2021
I have been having an absolute blast with my weekly art courses.
They are a highlight of my week! They very much remind me of the
classes that I took as a young artist—an opportunity to commune
with like-minded peers, hone craft, and learn from one another!
I am releasing the schedule for my early 2021 classes now in the event
that experiential gift-giving is of interest for the holiday season.

Weekly one-hour meetings and tutorials from New York Times-bestselling author Jarrett J. Krosoczka! This program will run for eight sessions, PLUS students will upload their comics and work to a Google Classroom in-between meetings so that Jarrett and peers can offer encouragement!
In this course, Jarrett builds community amongst cartoonist peers, gives weekly lessons, and assigns work that builds on itself to lead students to understand the creative process of writing and illustrating their own graphic novels.
These classes happen over Zoom Webinar. Students may elect to participate in a number of ways including voice only, voice and camera, the chat function, the Q&A portal, polls, and uploading work via Google Classroom. It is 100% up to their comfort level. Each course is limited to twenty students.

"My son created a portfolio of pages and pages of drawings that clearly demonstrated his progress and passion for art. He is now a budding cartoonist with a new interest to occupy his time at home."
—Michelle, parent in Massachusetts
"It was really nice to be able to get advice straight from someone who's been doing this for so long - there were a lot of small throw-outs that we got from this that wouldn't be in something like a book; they have to come from someone who's been doing this for years."
—Parent
"Since the lockdown began, and my children’s world abruptly contracted, new role models emerged and filled the gaps. Jarrett Krosoczka is one of those creative heroes that we have relied on to get us through this time."
— Chelsea, parent in Massachusetts

USA Today + No Kid Hungry
I am thrilled to be joining USA Today on September 17th for a LIVE storytelling event to benefit No Kid Hungry. Learn how you can be in the virtual audience for this special event by clicking here!
Krosoczka will share his personal story with a national audience at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT Sept. 17 as part of the Storytellers Project’s virtual show, “School Stories,” a benefit for No Kid Hungry. The Storytellers Project, part of the USA TODAY Network, produces shows in 20 cities across the United States, but pivoted to virtual shows in April because of stay-at-home orders.
Because of the pandemic, this year, one in four students are expected to face food insecurity, up from one in seven last year, according to No Kid Hungry.

Draw Every Day with JJK
As we find ourselves social distancing and learning from home, I am producing video content every single weekday for artists young and older than young. Draw Every Day with JJK will webcast at 2 pm ET on weekdays. Each lesson will build on one another, with each week having a set of lessons that can be viewed via dedicated playlists on my YouTube channel. So if you can't use in every weekday, you will have nearly two hours of educational and entertaining content to enjoy every weekend!
The above is a playlist of every single episode. You may find a dedicated page on my website here. Grown ups, there, you will also find information on how you can submit artwork to be featured in a future webcast. Thank you! And draw every day!
