About this event
Comics Lab Bring your ideas to life in Comics Lab! This supportive six-week class gives students the space to start or continue their comics journey. Students will create their own original comics from start to finish. Along the way, they’ll explore the building blocks of visual storytelling. Learn how to develop characters, create expressive drawings, plan panels, and tell a story through images and words. Each session includes fun exercises and creative challenges. These activities will help students generate new ideas and try different approaches. Push your creativity, experiment with new styles, and discover what makes your stories unique. Students can work at their own pace and develop their own creative voice. Whether you’re new to comics or already have experience, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. Basic drawing supplies are provided. Bring your ideas, imagination, and a willingness to experiment! Graham Henderson is a comics creator and founder of Attune arts, an adaptive arts and recreation company. He has published comics that have been translated into multiple languages, exhibited at comic cons across the Midwest, and found tremendous joy in making drawings come to life.
