About this program
Comics are known for their ability to engage even the most reticent readers, making them well loved by kids everywhere. Jo uses her own comics to introduce participants to this unique storytelling medium. Starting with an imaginative exercise that will set the stage for their story, the participants then focus on weaving together words and pictures into a short comic of their own creation. Older participants will get a more extensive look at comic making techniques.
