Description:
Sequential Art and the Visual Narrative is a study of images, the space between images, and the meaning made by linking images together through proximity.
This class will suit both students who have previously studied sequential art-making, and those who are new to the practice.
Students will practice communicating through juxtaposed images arranged in deliberate sequence and learn how principles like rhythm, movement, and placement can both create the illusion of time passed and reinforce/reveal important ideals not available to the singular view.
Along with the topics covered in this course, students will investigate:
- the effect of text on images
- narrative and non-narrative sequencing
- a variety of different methods of image-making include drawing, photography, and collage.
Tuition: $325
Class Size:
Minimum: 4
Maximum: 12
Materials List:
- Numerous sources for collage - printed materials, magazines, etc.
- Colored papers - cardstock, construction, “scrapbook” papers (some to be provided by instructor)
- Ex-acto knife and blades
- Ruler
- Pencil set
- Preferred drawing material - pencils, inks, charcoal, etc.
- Camera or camera phone
- Illustration/Bristol/Mixed Media paper sheets or pad, 14 x 17
Level of Study: This class is suggested for individuals with some observational drawing experience. Basic knowledge of drawing materials and techniques is expected. Projects will not be limited to drawing alone, however.
LOCATION: This class will be a hybrid of online meetings (held via Zoom) and in-person meetings (at our Walnut Hills studio – 656 East McMillan, 45206). The instructor will work with students to determine the most productive type of meeting for the evolution of the course work. She will communicate the schedule for each meeting well in advance and in accordance with developing recommendations of healthcare professionals.
