SAW and Believer Magazine's Friday Night Comics Workshops!
Did you know SAW is the NEW HOST of Believer Magazine's Friday Night Comics Workshops?
Our first workshop is kicking off this Friday, October 22, with Cara Bean! This is a FREE event happening EVERY FRIDAY!
Join cartoonist Cara Bean in this hands-on, visual thinking, mindfulness workshop.
Cara walks participants through a series of creative exercises intended to lessen anxiety, build confidence, and grow creativity.
Together, we’ll go over the basics of communicative drawing and develop the skills needed to doodle as a form of play and problem-solving.
Our session concludes with the creation of an improvised comic conjured from the unexpected, unconscious mind!
Cartoonist and art educator Cara Bean is the author of Draw 500 Funny Faces and Features and Let’s Talk About It: A Graphic Guide to Mental Health (free to download here). Cara is passionate about drawing and believes that the simple act of doodling on paper can lead to the investigation of complex ideas. An art teacher for thirteen years at Lexington High School, Cara holds an MFA in Drawing and Painting from the University of Washington in Seattle and received a certificate in cartooning from the Sequential Artists Workshop in Gainesville, Florida. She is currently working on a long-form graphic work which speaks directly to kids about mental health.
