This exciting workshop invites young creators aged 12 to 17 to dive into the world of comic book storytelling. Whether your child is a complete beginner or already a comic enthusiast, this session promises to get them drawing and scripting their own comics in no time. It's a fantastic way to spark creativity and storytelling skills during the school holidays.
Participants will explore what makes a comic unique, learning how the combination of words and pictures creates powerful stories. The session covers key concepts such as sequencing images, identifying panel gutters, and understanding basic story structure. By the end, each participant will have created their own one-page comic script and drawing.
This hands-on workshop runs for 1.5 hours, providing all materials and equipment needed. It is designed specifically for ages 12 to 17, with a focus on developing both writing and drawing skills in comic creation.
