Poetry Comics: Haiku Autumn

Description

Autumn: what a great season for writing haiku, and also for drawing short poetry comics!

Every Sunday, for 6 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, and we'll spend some time writing and drawing together.

Students will have the option to share their work privately online to receive feedback from the instructor and classmates. Class sessions will be recorded for any students who are unable to join in real time. All skill levels are welcome.

This class takes place online, from 1-2 pm PST, on the following Sundays:
