Time: 6-9pm EST (ET)
Tuition: $550
Ages: 18+
Venue: Online Seminar
Description:
Feel like everything’s too expensive right now? Us too!
Too busy to set aside a full week for a workshop? We get it! That’s why we rethought our online programs last year, with one goal in mind: making comics education more accessible, both in terms of time and cost.
Join award-winning queer cartoonist Nicole J. Georges (The Ballad of X-Ray and Koko, Emotional Support Animals, Fetch: How A Bad Dog Brought Me Home, Calling Dr. Laura) for this seven-week, synchronous comics seminar. In this workshop, students will strengthen their grip on the basics, advance their cartooning skills, create original work through exercises and guided cartooning assignments, and have their work discussed in a supportive atmosphere to highlight each artist’s strengths.
This online, synchronous class has space for 24* students, twice the number of seats in our in-person summer workshops. While there will not quite be the same level of one-on-one interaction, the instructor (and T.A.) will provide feedback on a few student assignments each week, making sure that over the seven weeks, all students receive comments on their work.
Scholarships
Two seats will be awarded as merit scholarships, designed to support the professional development of cartoonists living in the United States of America. Applicants of historically marginalized communities are strongly encouraged to apply. Visit the scholarships page above for more information and to apply.
