Comics & Animation

Do you want to take a class where you create your own ‘text’ rather than analyze someone else’s? Do you want to learn to tell stories in a clear and powerful way by combining drawing and writing? Then Comics & Animation may be the class for you! Students will study the work of contemporary and historical comic artists and animators from the U.S., Europe and Asia (Manga) as they write and draw their own original 1 and 4 panel comics, political cartoons and minicomics. Students will work both in traditional drawing media and on the computer (with Adobe Photoshop and Wacom tablets) to create their artwork.
