A personal story is enhanced when told in comics form.

In this class, experienced graphic novelist David Lasky will guide you through the process of creating short comics, leading up to a finished autobiographical story. We’ll look at examples from masters of the medium while exploring different aspects of comics in a variety of exercises and assignments.

Explore your own history by creating a visual story that only you can tell. Drawing ability is not as important as the desire to communicate your ideas clearly!

This class takes place on the following Thursdays from 6-8 pm:

March 20
March 27

All materials are provided for this class. You may choose to bring your own sketchbook, iPad for Procreate, or laptop for Photoshop, but it is not required. This class is recommended for adults.
