TIFA @ JUNIOR 2023: Creating A Graphic-Novel

8:50am

Friday, March 29, 2024

Join Stephanie Cooke and learn how to make a graphic novel from panel to cover as part of TIFA Kids.

How does a comic book or graphic novel get made? How many different people work on one book? What’s the process for creating a story and turning it into a graphic novel? Writer Stephanie Cooke will take you on a creative adventure, delving into ideas around the narrative building, illustration and steps to publication as she helps audiences explore the world of the comic book industry and sheds light on the process of writing a story from inception to completion.

This event is co-presented with JUNIOR, one of Canada’s largest children’s festivals. Harbourfront Centre’s campus will be bustling with an exciting schedule of performances in theatre, dance, music and interactive activities for children ages 5–12, all designed to inspire children to recognize their limitless potential and learn about the world around them and connect with the community.

Ages 7+. The event is free with registration
