For Teens. October 5^th 7-8pm pm on zoom. Register by emailing mstorey@nelson.ca.

The Art of Collaboration – a discussion and demonstration of working together to create comic books and strips. Ian and Pia will be comparing and contrasting the creation of the single panel gag comic strip and the editorial cartoon. And even if you are working on your own, they’ll be demonstrating how to collaborate with yourself by isolating different aspects of creativity.
