This course will introduce students to sequential storytelling. Sequential art is the combination of words and pictures used in a specific order to tell stories. Most simply, sequential art refers to comics and graphic novels. Through collaborative zine making and individual projects students will read and craft their own stories, whether fiction or nonfiction, understanding the fundamental rules of how to create legible illustrated narratives. The course will focus on the practical creation of sequential narratives along with lectures that will introduce students to historical and modern day sequential narratives.
