“Create your comics memoir” Zoom Workshop (June 24 | 12pm PDT)
Join us for a free 1-hour workshop on writing and drawing comics from Sarah Leavitt, comics professor at UBC’s School of Creative Writing and author of Tangles – just back from the Cannes Festival, where the animation starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Bryan Cranston based on her comic Tangles had its world premiere. In this workshop, you’ll experiment with shapes, lines and colour, combined with words, to convey information and emotion in a four-panel bite-sized comics memoir. There will be a strong emphasis on formal questions intrinsic to comics, as we find ways to make words and images work together to create something new. Don’t worry about whether you “can draw” or not – comics are about much more than that. Beginners welcomed and celebrated; sharing your work is always optional. No drawing experience is required. This is also your chance to experience the teaching approach of our new course, Comics Class for Writers, and ask any questions you have about the full course before enrolling.
