2. Divide the top half into two:
3. Find two objects which have reflective surfaces. Create a close-up

object, just part of it. Look at the example below.
For example:
Only draw a small section of the object
Success Criteria:
✓ Lines lightly sketched
✓ Shapes/reflections are in the correct place
✓ Shapes/reflections are the correct size
✓ A range of tones show the direction of light
✓ Follow the object when shading in

The Work of Audrey Flack
Audrey Flack was a pioneering feminist
artist. In her work she explores female
stereotypes and expectations placed
upon women. The image of Marilyn
Monroe symbolizes the perceived ideal
of feminine beauty and the
application of make up is used to
emulate this. In her work you can also
see symbolic objects, which links to
symbolism in Dutch still life, for
example:
• Blue Dutch mug – referencing the
influence of Dutch still life on
contemporary still life practice
• Hourglass – the passing of time
• Rose – the flower of Venus
• Fresh fruit – represents youth and
vitality
In WW2 (Vanitas) Flack explores her
Jewish heritage. Audrey Flack
incorporates her experiences of living as
a Jew in post-war USA in her artwork.
Flack wanted to develop a deeper
understanding of the events of WW2,
particularly the Holocaust. She tries to
comprehend why people would treat
others so badly. Audrey Flack believes
that by labelling people as “other”
enabled the justification of the harsh
treatment of Jewish people. In the
artwork you can see a copy of Margaret
Bourke-White’s photograph of the
prisoners in the concentration camps. In
her work, Flack wanted to create a
violent contrast of good and evil. You
can see the visual contrast in this piece
through the juxtaposition of the bright,
bold objects on top of the black and
white photograph. As with all of Flack’s
work the objects are symbolic, for
example:
Butterfly – represents resurrection and
hope
Rainbow – hope and promise from God
(floods)
Candle – light in the darkness of life
Marilyn, 1977
Queen, 1976 5

How to create a comic strip
As this is your first-ever comic strip we will focus on creating a three-frame comic. But
when you become a master at creating short comic strips, you can make yours
much longer and filled with way more characters.
Step 1: Write your ideas for your comic
A comic strip is no different from writing a short story. It still needs a beginning,
middle and ending. Because this is a three-frame comic strip, break your story down
into 3 parts. Write down your ideas for the characters, settings, expressions and even
speech. Make sure each part has some action and that your ending is powerful with
an awesome punchline.
Step 2: Draw the three-frames
On a new piece of plain paper, draw your three frames using a pencil and a ruler.
Make sure each frame is equal size. You can even put small light marks on the
paper to mark out where the speech bubbles will go. As a bonus tip, you might
want to make your frames twice as big as you want them to be, so you don’t run
out of space.

Step 3: Use basic shapes to draw
One of the hardest parts of creating a comic strip is drawing out your
characters. We recommend you use basic shapes to draw out your characters.
As this is your first comic strip you might even want to use stick figures to keeps
things easy. Also, sketch in the speech bubbles and any starbursts for sound
effects. Oh and don’t forget, please use a pencil at this stage, so you can erase
any mistakes.
Step 4: Add in the speech and lettering
Now add in the lettering for your speech into your speech bubbles and don’t
forget to double-check your spelling. Remember the size of your lettering could
show whether a character is shouting or whispering. For example, lettering in
full capitals shows that your character is shouting.

Step 5: Add detail to your cartoon
Now go back to your characters and add any extra details, such as facial
expression, movement lines, shadowing on the floor. And also draw in the
background for each frame.
Step 6: Go over your comic in pen
Now, you can finally use a felt-tip pen to go over your pencil drawings and rub out
any pencil lines. Your first-ever comic strip is now complete – well done! You can
leave it as it is or even add some colour.
