Haiku Comics Class, Winter 2025
Haiku Comics Class, Winter 2025
This is a poetry comics class for winter, focusing on short haiku comics of roughly 3 or 4 panels. Over four Sunday sessions, we'll meet online and look at notable examples of haiku poems, and then learn a comics-making technique. A prompt will be given to help you write a haiku. Then a technique or concept will be shown to help you draw your poem as a short haiku comic. We’ll spend a little time writing and drawing together, and your comic can be finished as homework (which is optional). Students will be able to share their work privately online, if they wish, to receive instructor and classmate feedback. All skill levels welcome.
Art supplies needed: Pencils, paper, a ruler, an eraser, inking pens, (or a digital drawing platform). Color media is optional.
Technology needed: A computer or device that can work with Zoom. A scanner or camera would be useful for sharing work to the class’s Padlet page.
Meetings: Sundays for 4 weeks, FEB 16th, 23rd, MARCH 2nd, 16th (no class on 3/09)
1pm Pacific (Seattle-time) until 2pm
