W<\/span><span class=\"s1\">e will then put those theories into practice together. Starting with pure structure, we&#8217;ll look at how panels express hierarchy, rhythm, and emotion through shape and arrangement. Then we\u2019ll generate a variety of images from abstract to still-life, from drawings based on reference images to a collection of collage materials, which we will cut up into panels or turn into &#8220;viewfinder&#8221; style overlays for a finished page. As we go, we\u2019ll discuss the different relationships between text and picture in comics: how text can complement, expand on, or emphasize picture, and vice versa. Finally, we&#8217;ll write short poems for our pages, whether completely original or with found text.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Suggested Materials<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Plenty of paper (any and all colors)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Scissors and glue\/tape<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Collage materials (magazines, junk mail, etc.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Pens, pencils, or whatever you like to draw with <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"s1\"><b>Optional Materials<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A tablet for creating digital images<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Zoom Meeting ID: <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/j\/93931218101\">939 3121 8101<\/a><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drink &amp; Draw [Virtual] is a low-key drop-in social workshop devoted to staying creative from home.
