Draw Your Feelings

Price range: $20.00 through $40.00

Learn to use comics to manage emotions!

About the workshop:

We all experience big feelings and sometimes it’s hard to manage them. In this workshop, artist Cassy Lee will walk you through a process of using comics to embrace your emotions and experience greater equanimity. Through low-stakes comics exercises, you’ll visualize your feelings as a tool for emotional regulation. Whether it’s impostor syndrome, creative anxiety, or wider worries about the world, this process is a way to face and move through those feelings by getting them out on the page.
Attendees need to bring tools for their preferred drawing medium: digital, or paper, pencils, markers, colored pencils, or whatever they enjoy! Maybe have some tissues on hand in case the big emotions get leaky.
Details: 
This is a two-hour online workshop on March 21st, 10:30am-12:30pm PST (1:30pm-3:30pm EST). The class will be recorded and shared with all registered attendees.

About the teacher: 

As an art teacher, a librarian, and a comics artist, Cassy Lee has been exploring visual narrative as a means of self-expression, connection with others, and a healing process. She recently completed an MFA in Comics at California College of the Arts. While working on her graphic novel memoir about healing from intergenerational trauma, she practiced these techniques herself to work through her emotional blocks. Her comics and writing have appeared in publications such as The Comics Journal, Mutha Magazine, GraphicMedicine.org, the International Journal of Comic Art, and School Library Journal. Her hope is to create work and foster spaces that inspire others to break free of what holds them back in order to move forward in brave creative new ways.
