We’re fortunate to have an artist who studied Manga and animation in Japan (the country of Manga!) to teach this popular style of comic. In this workshop, Zack Wood will teach you how to develop a comic panel from story, to sketching, to inking, to adding halftones. This will further develop your illustration and drawing skills. Great for 11yrs old through adults. Pre-registration is required.
Manga means ‘comic’ in Japanese and is a style of comic in Japan which is widely read by all ages. (Manga is also strongly connected to anime, the popular animated film genre.) The stories cover various themes such as romance, horror, historical drama, sports, and more. The style is singularly recognizable and modern, but was developed in 19th century Japan!

Zack was featured in a New York Times article about American students heading to Japan to study Manga in preparation for careers in film, games, and comics. He currently has a graphic novel under consideration for publication in Japan. You may be more familiar with the work of his mother, R. Wood of R. Wood pottery, or his father, painter Lamar Wood who also runs the Brick House gallery.
