H79.2414 Lecture 4 Credits
Instructor(s): White
As comics evolve from paper to screen we have an opportunity to experiment with entirely new ways of presenting them. This class provides an overview of comics and then focuses on how you can create your own interactive works. We breakdown the sequential narrative process into the components necessary to develop a compelling story and look at how the audience and the medium help to shape the final presentation of our ideas. Students work on several projects to build up skills and are expected to create a long form interactive comic, implementing the concepts explored in class, for a final project. Students present their work and works in progress throughout the semester. Grading is based on attendance, class participation, weekly assignments and the final project. You do not need to be a trained artist to take this class, but you do need to be willing to take chances with your work.
