In this course, we will use our imagination and creativity to translate our thoughts into words and pictures. Exploring the world of comics, we will learn about illustrating techniques used to convey emotion and physical movement. We will also learn about story structure and use that knowledge when writing our own stories. We will investigate rhetorical devices, such as onomatopoeia and metaphors, to paint pictures with words. Learning from drawings by professional artists, we will develop our own ideas to express our imagination. Throughout the course, students will collaborate in cycles of feedback with their classmates and instructors, becoming more reflective in their writing process. Students will leave the class with a handmade artist portfolio displaying their writing and illustrating pieces!
