Post date April 4, 2016

Comic-Making, Map-Making, and Re-Shaping Workshop
April 14 from noon to 2 p.m. in the ModLab (Fine Arts 215)

What if comics weren’t patterned after books? What if comics had some other shape? In this hands-on workshop, comics artist Rob Berry will challenge us to envision and design a comic story that unfolds like a road map rather than a book. Berry has prepared a template for page design using ComicLife software and will bring examples of work made in this format. Those attending the workshop will use ComicLife to build maps of their own. This is a hands-on, art-making workshop.

Free Lunch will be served.

RSVP recommended but not required.
