Join this comics workshop that will have you quickly filling panels with narration and imagery that will let your imagination come to life! The workshop begins with a brief conversation about the unique mechanics of how comics can tell stories. We’ll explore how to come up with a storyline, develop a character, and discuss other topics related to writing and drawing comics. Then we do some simple doodle exercises to generate ideas. Next we experiment with some inspiring comic formats to tell our own stories and share if we feel comfortable doing so.
