comics

with Orestis Ladenis
for children 7+
Saturday 23 September 2023 to Saturday 1 June 2024

5 - 7 pm

In these comics classes children get a taste of how a comic strip is created from scratch.

The teaching proceeds through three main components: text, characters and drawing (inking). The children will be equipped with mechanisms which combine their imagination with the discipline the brain needs to build a story from scratch. In the context of the classes we shall acquaint ourselves with such famous practitioners as Katsushika Hokusai, Frank Miller, Hergé, Alan Moor and discover the technique  of action drawing.
