Albuquerque:Two Workshops to Create Comics

Hi Tabbi,

I am passing along info from 7000 BC Comics. They are interested in getting homeschoolers involved in some of their projects! Here is the first one:

“I'm sending you a couple of PSAs about comic stuff that's for older kids and adults. We've also got a project coming up with the ACLU mentoring older students to make comics on civil rights that the ACLU will print and distribute.”

What: Creating Comics: Panel by Panel



When: Saturdays 11 AM - 1 PM

October 6 - December 12



Who: 7000 BC (Sweet Seven Thousands Baaad Assss Comics)

Northern New Mexico's Comic Group



Where: Harwood Art Center

1114 7th Street NW

Albuquerque, NM 87102



Cost: $120/workshop. Scholarships available.



This workshop will explore the many aspects of comics creation, from scriptwriting and storytelling, to layouts, panel placement and fluidity, and technical aspects of creating the art. Along the way, we'll touch on comics theory and history. The goal of the session is for participants to produce individual stories with their own voice and vision, culminating in an anthology.



In January 2008, 7000 BC will begin a second comic creation workshop, focusing on collaboration and discussing production issues.

Cartoonists around the world take on the challenge of trying to create a 24 page comic story in 24 straight hours.
