Your own Manga self-portrait is created in Jena
Big eyes, expressive faces, and imaginative hairstyles: At the Manga drawing course in the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena, young creatives aged 12 and up dive into the world of Japanese comics. Step by step, a digital self-portrait in personal manga style is created.
Get creative with tablet and stylus
In the Helene-Petrenz hall, participants learn how to implement facial features, eyes, hair, and expressions in a child-friendly and understandable way. Tablets and styluses are provided on-site. This allows participants to get started right away and focus entirely on their ideas, curiosity, and joy in drawing.
Age-appropriate fun learning without prerequisites
The workshop is aimed at interested individuals aged 12 and up and is explicitly suitable for beginners as well. The step-by-step guidance creates a safe learning environment where participants can experiment with and develop their skills. Digital drawing combines artistic learning experiences with media competence and strengthens concentration, imagination, and self-confidence.
A creative family experience with a digital focus
For families, the Manga drawing course offers a special shared time: Teens discover a popular visual language, try out digital tools, and take home a self-designed portrait as a personal learning experience. The Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena regularly offers programs for children and adolescents as a cultural education institution, including interactive tablet tours, playful knowledge transfer, and digital training.
