Harness the creativity of school age kids with everyone’s favorite genre… comics!

In this workshop, young artists and writers embrace the comics and zines format all while sharpening expository writing, creative fiction, and illustration skills. We…

  • warm-up with an illustration exercise

  • look at real zines — artist books, comics, and non-fiction mini-books made by kids and grown-ups

  • brainstorm ideas for an original story; and

  • use real artist tools to craft a short comic in the zine format, with publication in mind.

Every child enrolled in the workshop leaves with a real zine starring the very naughty Newspaper Thief.

Recommended time: Two 1-hour workshops
