Professional Practice provides an opportunity for students to gain experience with all aspects of professional life as a working artist trained in comics. Students will be instructed in professional conduct, tax preparation, basic contract law, the pitching process, and the many facets of the comics publishing industry. The class is based around a series of hands-on assignments intended to reinforce this learning, and students should expect to share work, collaborate, and receive constructive feedback from both their peers as well as the instructor. In addition to the individual and collaborative exercises, supplementary readings will be assigned and discussed via written response, group discussion, and/or online message boards.
