Join this beginner friendly, hands-on workshop by Yasmeen Abedifard!
Expressing the Self in Comics is a beginner friendly workshop that encourages those unfamiliar with comics to dip their feet into character building and expressing themselves through the medium of comics.
In this 2-hour workshop, Yasmeen will guide you in identifying an emotion that can be materialized and expressed through a character outside of their own experience. You will come out of the workshop with a character and a short comic.
All materials included! You're encouraged to bring your tablet to draw during class.
