This is a drawing-intensive class that focuses on comics as a means to self- expression through graphic narrative. In this course, students will be introduced to the basic building blocks of comics language to construct increasingly more personal works. Students develop an understanding of the idioms of the visual form starting with single images and then moving through multi-paneled strips, single page stories, and finally multi-paged narratives. With each step forward, students gain increasing confidence to use the language of comics as their own personal means of expression. Be prepared to write and draw a lot of pages
