We mixed up characters and made animals tell the story of our favorite childhood books and even made up some books! It was a lot of fun. Come take a look!
Replay of Friday Night Comics with Sarah Maloney
Catch the replay of our most recent Friday Night Comics Workshop with Sarah Maloney @maloneydoodles! We explored CREATING PLACE in our comics where we were asked to draw some shoes and then to consider where those pair of shoes would take us. We hope you've been having a good time enjoying this creative community full of art-making!
Replay of Friday Night Comics with Aidan Koch: Experiments in Climate Drawing
We had a really lovely time with Aidan Koch who had us talking and drawing about climate change. What we were afraid of, what we were hopeful for, what we were doing in our communities. It meant a lot, a lot of people shared and a lot of people felt better and more connected in the end. Come take a look and share your concerns with us. We hope you have a good time enjoying some creative community and art-making!
Reply Friday Night Comics Tom Motley's Daredoodles
We had a great time with Tom Motley from SVA who brought us through DAREDOODLES, some inventive ways to make characters and comics!
Replay of Be An Imposter with Josh Bayer
We had a great time with Josh Bayer @joshmbayer (Instagram account) drawing characters with objects, learning and using shading techniques that amplify our comics, and bringing the holiday season into it, we talked about making a stories of objects we exchange, Josh mentioned that a good way to start a comic plot is to make a list i.e. objects we exchange, things we struggle to buy, things we want to buy, disappointing gifts, disappointing reactions, etc.
Replay of Expressing the Self Through Character with Yasmeen Abedifard
We had a great time with Yasmeen Abedifard @yasmeen.abedi expressing the self through characters. We learned how cartoon characters have a unique way of evoking empathy and about mirroring emotions in the characters we create. We made some great 1 page comics with the complex characters we created in the workshop!
