Drawing Comics From Primary Sources
11:00 - 1:00pm // Fletcher Room
Instructor: Marek Bennett

Join award-winning cartoonist Marek Bennett for a hands-on look at creating comics from primary sources -- texts, images, & otherwise! Comics help us interpret existing texts in new ways, exploring sequence, voice, & point of view -- even synthesizing multiple sources into a single narrative. Marek will demonstrate some basic methods, and help you start your own original "non-fiction" comic!
