Design your own 1-hour comic workshop that you can teach online or in person.
About the workshop:
Are you interested in running a comics class at your local library, community center, or online? Well, sign up for this workshop about designing a workshop! In this class, students will get support in designing their own 1-hour comic workshop that they can teach online or in person. We will go over warm ups, writing prompts and exercises, timing, and writing a workshop outline. This workshop is a great place to start for anyone who wants to teach a comics workshop but needs help in brainstorming and planning.
Date:
This is a 2-hour online workshop on Sunday, October 12 at 11am-1pm PST/2pm-4pm EST. The workshop is capped at 25 participants. Everyone who signs up will receive a Zoom link via email and then a recording of the workshop afterwards.
What you need:
• Bring writing and drawing materials. We’ll be doing some freewriting and then drawing short comics. You can work with any tools you enjoy, like watercolor, digital drawing, or colored pencils.
