Comic crafting - What is in your text bubble?
Comics are a powerful and versatile art form that can convey complex ideas and emotions in a unique way. – Gene Luen Yang
This workshop will bring together participants who enjoy visual communication – specifically the art of comics. Comics is an art that combines image and text, and this workshop will deal with their relationship.
By getting to know people in their group, the participants, listening to other people’s stories, will try to visualize in their own way what the other person is talking about. A group of participants will come to a joint comic, in which everyone will “fill in the other’s bubble”. This joint comic can also be physical in the form of a wall or a billboard. The main point is that everyone has a reason why they wrote something about someone.
This workshop is ideal for you if you enjoy expressing yourself through drawing and are interested in exploring the art of comics, regardless of prior experience.
Don’t hesitate to apply, we can’t wait to see your artwork!
