Comics Arts Workshop comes to the Malden Public Library

Join MassArt and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) at the Malden Public Library on Thursday, August 14, at 4 p.m. for a Comic Arts Workshop. Registration is required. Please use the following link: https://bit.ly/MassArt_Comics_MPL or sign up in person at the library. For kids and teens ages seven and up.

The workshop provides an opportunity to deconstruct the comic creation process in an engaging and accessible way that applies to a wide range of skillsets. It introduces the storytelling structure and starts with a simple activity where students sketch different shapes on their pages. MassArt Comic Arts instructor LJ Baptiste will demonstrate how these shapes can be fleshed out into full characters. Participants will learn techniques they can use to understand a character they’re creating and develop their own four-panel comic strip featuring one of their original characters.
