Well-known comic artist gives drawing course in Bocholt
Kim Schmidt leads workshop at the Media Centre
In cooperation with the German-Israeli Society and the Adult Education Centre Bocholt-Rhede-Isselburg, a very special drawing course will take place on Saturday 22 April from 10 am to 4 pm: Kim Schmidt is an experienced comic artist and workshop leader and will give an insight into the technical aspects of drawing comics.
How do you draw a figure? How do you come up with an idea? How does a narrative in pictures work? Together we will create the first characters, develop a storyline and create a comic world for everyone to see. Kim Schmidt will also explain the connections between comics, superheroism and political education in this free course.
For better planning, the Adult Education Centre asks for registration at www.vhs-bocholt.de or during opening hours at the VHS office, Stenerner Weg 14a in Bocholt.
