Description: What is a comic? Is it a sequence of imagesor the combination of word and image? Is it defined by the panels or the content of those panels? In this course we will be looking at both the conceptual and physical frameworks comics were born into. By looking at the history of storytelling and experimentation with the medium of indie comics we will forge our own path forward into the contemporary world of unconventional comics. Playing with concepts, paneling, abstraction, and the physical book as an art object, we will find what methods feel right for telling our individual stories. Marinating in everyday moments as well as creating new worlds, we embark together. Materials list can be found at sharonartstudio.org/materials.
