In this class you will learn how to write and draw a graphic poem! Start from a prompt, then distill your writing to the bare bones of observation before breaking it into panels and adding drawings to create complex visual poems.
We’ll look at panel layout, inking techniques, and creating a color palette, all with an eye to how the visuals can support the story.
This class is suitable for young teens through adults. You do not need to be a good artist, but you will need to be artistically brave.
