WORKSHOP: 4-Panel Comic Workshop with Kate Escolin
Saturday 27th May, 2023 - 10:00
€10There are hidden storytellers among us! But many kids have the same dilemma that professional writers face when confronted by a blank sheet of paper- “I don’t know what to write!” Encouraging kids to write is no easy feat. What makes comics a great fit for young storytellers is that they require only a few simple things to get started: a pencil, paper, and a basic understanding of important comic elements. A four panel comic strip is like a fun but simple writing exercise in disguise.
In this 90 minute workshop they will be introduced to the key basics on how to create their own classic comic strip from beginning, middle, and to end. Whether it’s comical, personal or just about talking animals!
Suitable for 7-9 years old. All art materials provided.
