Description:

Prerequisites: VIAR R3040, VIAR R3401, or VIAR R3411. Printmaking I: Graphic Novel The objective of the course is to provide students with an interdisciplinary link between drawing, printmaking, and graphic narrative. The course will probe the relation of language to image through three projects: an intensive drawing project, a "zine", and finally, a graphic novel. The course work will guide students through a natural progression beginning with pure image (drawing), transitioning to non-narrative linkage text (the graphic novel). We will primarily explore the graphic novel as a medium for creating art. While graphic novel can certainly be used to tell a simple story, there are many other ways in which an artist can use the medium to convey complex ideas and to create and share their own world. In this course, students will develop and refine their drawing sensibility, and are encouraged to experiment with various forms of non-traditional printmaking.
