ARTS 185 — Comics and Sequential Art
Comics are one of the world’s great storytelling media. In an increasingly visual culture, understanding the unique language of comics is more relevant than ever. This studio art class is designed for the student who wishes to investigate self -expression and storytelling using the narrative form of sequential art. Students will actively participate in projects, lectures, and discussions about the key elements and history of comics, and participate in drawing exercises that reinforce formal concepts. At the center of the course is a semester -long project in which each student creates a comic story that will be written, sketched, inked, and published in a class compendium as a final project.
