This class offers an introductory exploration of the comics medium and its many forms ranging from single-panel political cartoons and three-panel strips to serialized short-form publications and long-form graphic novels. This course features a diverse and wide-ranging reading list intended to reveal the creative possibilities of comics as a storytelling medium. In addition, the curriculum focuses on how time and space are metaphorically represented in two-dimensions, panel relationships, text-and-image relationships, page layouts, and the basics of the thumbnailing process. Original syllabus by Matt Silady.
