Visual Narrative in Cartoons, Graphic Novels, and Beyond
By Michael Dooley |
Item No. #Y0169
|
Format: Paperback
|
This provocative anthology provides inspiration on how to teach, think, and talk about comics in the classroom and beyond. Featuring essays by, and interviews with, more than sixty professionals, educators, and critics, the book provides an indepth view of the art, business, and history of comics art. Readers will learn about a wide variety of genres, from editorial cartoons, political comics, and comic strips to graphic novels, superhero sagas, and alternative comics. Other featured topics include the role of comic art in related fields such as animation, design, and illustration;lesson plans by top teachers; and essays on how to thrive and grow as a creative comic artist.
Only those who truly think outside the panel can transform such a nowmainstream method of mass communication into a truly exceptional art. The most superlative comics art is drawn from deep dark recesses, pushed to the surface by desires to express compelling ideas through words and images that would otherwise be suppressed if the form did not exist. This is, perhaps, why comics art is at least in the minds of the contributors here the most popular course in art school today, and probably tomorrow.
