Afterschool Special: Make Comics! Workshops

Afterschool Special: Make Comics! Workshops

[ 1 ] 12.19.2011 |

Make Comics! is run by the Providence Comics Consortium, a group founded by educator/comic enthusiasts Walker Mettling and Andrew Oesch. Sessions held at library program rooms take place two afternoons per week, two hours per session. As a former art student and crafty mom, I was impressed by all facets of the classes: the obvious planning, the materials offered, the instruction of using panels for storytelling, inking and using details such as facial expression to succinctly convey emotion; there was even a healthy snack! To close the session our instructor Walker presented each child with a bound anthology of student work from both sessions, assembled with great care.

Enter to Win! A chance to see MOMIX in Botanica on October 29th, 2011!

[ 59 ] 10.18.2011 |

Lose yourself in a forest of fantasy with the shape-shifting dancers of MOMIX in Botanica, an artful extravaganza of movement, circus, athleticism and magical effects. Creatures real and mythical materialize through dazzling projections and larger-than-life puppets designed by Michael Curry, the Tony Award-winning designer of The Lion King. [First Works Logo] This primeval world forms a magical tableau where MOMIX’s impossibly nimble dancer-illusionists redefine gravity. Experience Botanica…and take leave of your senses in a garden of blooms!
