Writing in pictures - Envisioning your future through visual storytelling

The power of comics lies in its universal communication ability. It can take us into existing and non-existing world in a blink of an eye. It can bear witness of our times and propose ways to imagine a different future. Everything starts with an idea, a purpose. To communicate this idea we'll dip into the range and versatility comics offer. Think of it as making a film while painting and writing at the same time where in your audience are partners in crime, creating something out of nothing. Time and time again. 
After an introduction into key points of making comics we will work on ways to tell your story by creating a short comic.
This workshop is offered by Beldan Sezen.
