Join MassArt and the MBLC at the Malden Public Library on Thursday August 14th, 4pm for a Comic Arts Workshop. Registration is required. Please use the ticket link or sign up in person at the library.
The workshop provides an opportunity to deconstruct the comic creation process in an engaging and accessible way that applies to a wide range of skillsets. It introduces the storytelling structure and starts with a simple activity where students sketch different shapes on their pages. MassArt Comic Arts instructor LJ Baptiste will demonstrate how these shapes can be fleshed out into full characters. Participants will learn techniques they can utilize to understand a character they’re creating and develop their own 4 panel comic strip featuring one of their original characters.
For kids and teens ages 7 and up.
