The Museo ABC starts a new programme of seminaries with well-known teachers of the contemporary illustration. Seminaries will take place during one or two weekends (there are two modalities of 10 or 20 hours) at the Museo ABC and they are aimed to design and illustration professionals or to amateurs with a basic knowledge of drawing.

«Who lives there?» How to create characters
A 20 HOURS SEMINARY BY JAVIER SÁEZ CASTÁN

The album book is both an artistic and literary scenario where characters live. It is a pocket theatre.
The character is located in the centre of the album, so it is presented to the reader as a starring actor, the main figure that will guide him in the exploration of the world inside the pages of the book.
This workshop has a dual aim: to learn how to create the character from the album context and, in reverse, the development of the album with the character as a starting point.

Dates:
1st week: 22, 23 and 24 of September
2nd week: 29, 30 of September and 1 of October
Hours:
Fridays 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. / Saturdays 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.  and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.  / Sundays 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Total: 6 days, 20 hours.
