Drawing Words and Speaking Pictures: This Mysterious Thing We Call Comics

Lynda Barry leads a lively drawing jam for anyone who is interested in making comics. You don't need any artistic ability to be part of this class, but you must be willing to draw bravely. We'll be learning fast drawing techniques that anyone can do to create instant characters, story lines, and the spook-house kind of excitement that comes about when people who don't know each other get together in a single room and suddenly have to start making pictures together.

This workshop is for members of the UMBC community (students, faculty, and staff). Space is limited and spots will be distributed by lottery on February 10th. If you are selected to join the workshop, we will reach out to confirm with more information.
