</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">The class is designed to introduce students to the discipline of sequential </span><span style="color: rgb(14.901960%, 14.901960%, 14.901960%); font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Illustration </span><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">as
it is practiced in comic books, graphic novels, comic strips, and storyboarding for film
and animation. Students will record their observations, experiences and concepts in a
sketchbook and then translate these ideas into a graphic narrative. We will explore the
elements of storytelling, discuss the formal aspects of comics, and produce comic pages
using this iconic visual language. The students will also become acquainted with the
traditional skills and tools of the cartooning trade.

sketchbook doesn’t need to be expensive. You should find one that you are
comfortable drawing and writing in. You will use it to work on class exercises,
produce thumbnails for assignments, and for everyday doodles and scribbles. You
are strongly encouraged to draw in your sketchbook everyday.

how your thoughts work on paper. These sketches are for personal critiquing
only. This method should help you see if an idea can work on paper. Since
thumbnail sketches help you resolve your ideas, you should complete as many as
possible. A good amount of thumbnail sketches for each illustration assigned is
15 – 20.

These sketches should be cleaned up either by redrawing or copying and
enlarging them on a printer to roughly 5 x 6”. Most importantly, rough sketches
should be in proportion to the final illustration. If the final image is going to be
vertical, your rough sketch should be vertical. You are required to bring in 3
rough sketches for each assignment.

(alarm clocks, car failure, etc.) are not valid excuses. Lateness of an hour or more
