Comics are not just about men in tights anymore. Sequential art is now recognized as a legitimate form of writing, as illustrated by Neil Gaiman winning the World Fantasy Award for science fiction and Art Spiegelman the Pulitzer Prize for their respective works. This workshop will cover a brief history of comics and development through writing text and dialogue and working with artists to render a story into illustrated form. Participants will work on in-class assignments adapting existing works into comic book format as well as writing "slice of life" stories for which local artists will provide "thumbnails" or storyboards. A final project will be assigned with the goal of preparing material to pitch to a comic book anthology. 10 sessions. This class will meet Thursday evenings from 7:30-10:00 PM starting September 30 running until December 2.
