Stages & Workshops
Comics Workshop
Friday 22nd, Saturday 23rd, Sunday 24th July
15.30 / 17.00 - Auditorium, Riminicomix tent-structure
(free entry, subscription required)
15 participants will learn how to make comics, under the lead of Diego Cajelli, a professional comics scriptwriter. The workshop lasts three days and it is held inside the Riminicomix Auditorium. During this period, all the phases of the realization of a story are examined step by step: from the initial inspiration, to the idea, and to the subject, to the final script and the drawing. In a few words: what to write, how to write it and how to draw it with the appropriate terms, methods and instruments. Trying to understand how and why a dialog can be breathtaking or boring, if and when a panel is effective or obvious.
The workshop also provides practical writing exercises, examined (and visualized) with the help of some guest cartoonists, and co-ordinated by Mauro Masi. This way, the students will have a chance to verify directly how you can make a complete panel from a simple layout.
The workshop is free with prior registration (Cartoon Club Office: Tel. 0541-784193, segreteria@cartoonclub.it). Riminicomix will supply the material (paper, pens, pencils, etc.) necessary to make the exercises.
Coloration Workshop
Friday 22nd, Saturday 23rd, Sunday 24th July
15.30 / 17.00 - Palazzina Roma
(participation fee: 30 euros)
For this year only, Riminicomix offers to its visitors one more three-days course: this one concerns computer coloration, thanks to the presence of a very special teacher: Lorenzo Ortolani, official colourist for the covers of Rat-Man, the cult comics series with script and art by Leo Ortolani.
A room inside the Palazzina Roma (Fellini Square) will be equipped with 10 computers; with each one of them, two persons can work. So, twenty students will have a chance to learn the basics of the colouration of a comic-book, and the tricks that only an experiende professional knows and uses daily in his job.
This stage is not free: it needs a participation fee of 30 euros, a little contribute to help us rent the computers. To subscribe and pay the fee, please talk to the Cartoon CLub headquarters: ph. 0541/784193, segreteria@cartoonclub.it, via Circonvallazione Occidentale 58 - Rimini - Italy.
