Make Your Own Comic Book

In this course, students practiced the art of telling stories through pictures. Formal aspects of the narrative were applied by combining the written word with visual sequences. Students learned how storylines are developed, formats are considered and characters created. Observation skill-building helped students develop a basis for their fantasy figures, heroes, and heroines. Each student explored animation techniques and produced a comic strip consisting of several frames as well as a multi-page comic book.
