During this four-week course we will be making comics that take the human body as their subject. Looking at examples of ‘graphic medicine’ for inspiration we’ll explore different ways of drawing and writing physical and emotional states, including health journaling, ‘auto fictional biography’, and visual metaphors. You will be guided through creating your own sequential body story.
*First session to take place outdoors – location tbc.
