ARTS 230

Sequential Art

This course provides the opportunity for students to gain an introduction to the art of creating comics and sequential art. Students explore four key elements involved in creating sequential art: design, drawing, character, and story. Throughout the semester, students will make several of their own graphic short stories as a series of projects leading toward a final portfolio. By the end of this course, students will understand page layout, design and illustrations as they relate to sequential art and begin to apply these newly acquired skills toward their own personal style.
