Intended Audience
Yona Harvey: Write Yourself Into a Comic: No-Stress Comics Journaling for Beginners
In this stimulating, no-stress lecture, you will learn how to panel, draw, and narrate a comic. Through a series of brief writing exercises you'll highlight memorable moments from your life and turn them into story. Fictional and poetic embellishments are encouraged. We'll view some classic comic book layouts for inspiration. Each participant will leave with a mini comic and ideas for making many more. No drawing experience necessary! (Have a notebook/journal and some blank paper ready for your ideas!)
