  • Illustration for self-expression

    I was very happy to give a workshop at Nasawiya about using illustration to deal with your frustrations. I had a great time, met lovely people, and we all drew and chatted about illustration. Add to that cake and juice, how better can it get? 🙂

    I’d like to thank Nadine Moawad and Joelle Hatem for helping me to organize it, Jessica Dheere from SMEX for the projector, and everyone who attended for their participation and making this fun!

    Here’s the outcome of the workshop, for more photos, check out the Facebook photos.

    A 12-year old girl, Alice El Asmar, surprised us all with her AMAZING TALENT, she’s a real pro [wacom and blog and all!]

    Jessica‘s cartoon who looks just like her!

    Nadim’s also kind of existential cartoon

  • Lecture & workshop at AUB

    Poster
    Lecture poster

    So my darlings, as you just read in the poster, I will be giving a lecture & workshop at AUB, in the department of Fine Arts & Art History, this wednesday from 3:30 to 6:00 pm. So all of you who are interested are most welcome to attend and participate.

    The planned schedule is as follows:

    • 3:30-4:15 lecture about the use of art & blogging to make social impacts, or for self-knowledge and better understanding of our society and surroundings.
    • 4:15-6:00 workshop focusing on illustration/sketching as a way of self representation in social situations that bother us.

    If you want to participate to the workshop, don’t forget your pencils, papers and try to prepare a storyboard of 5 scenes depicting a story that happened with you, that has impacted you on a social/political level to discuss and develop during the workshop.

    Here’s the link to the lecture announcement on the class’ blog and on AUB bulletin.

    See you there 😉
