About this Event
This workshop is for beginners who would like to understand the make-up of manga or comics.
The session will introduce participants to sequential storytelling including the different storytelling formats, visual symbolism and elements used in manga or comics.
Participants will explore ways to come up with ideas to create a manga or comic and will complete a one page or four panel visual story by the end of the class.
This workshop is suitable for those aged 15 and above who would like learn how to create visual stories. Basic materials will be provided but participants are encouraged to bring their own preferred drawing materials.
This programme will be conducted in-person at the Singapore Book Council if restrictions permit. Otherwise it will be converted into a virtual workshop conducted via the Zoom platform. Participants do not need a Zoom account to take part in the workshop.
