Do you like reading comics? …so how about creating your own?😲
Join us for a summer series of workshops on designing and creating picture stories – “Make Your Own Comic… About the City!”
___
A city is more than just buildings and streets, and a comic is far more than funny stories with speech bubbles! Want to see for yourself? The best way is to take part in our summer workshops at the Passage of Dialogue (Przejście Dialogu).
📖Why is the comic such a great storytelling tool, and how can you use it to create fantastic stories about the city? During the sessions, participants will learn about the distinctive features of comics, do loads of creative exercises and become more attentive to the world around them. What’s more, they will try out various art techniques to find their favourite, and then use all the skills they have gained to create their own comic!
___
• Wednesdays, 16:00 (the series runs from 19 July to 23 August 2023)
• young people aged 12+
• Passage of Dialogue (Świdnicka 19, Wrocław)
