Writing Intensive
Following the memoir boom of the late 20th century, the genre of the graphic novel/memoir erupted seemingly out of nowhere with international best-sellers such as Art Speigelman’s MAUS, Allison Bechdel’s FUN HOME, and Marjane Satrapi’s PERSEPOLIS. They have inspired many authors into the multi-faceted genre of the graphic novel where text and image and even photography work in concert. In this class we will read texts such as the above, as well as the foundational craft book on the subject, UNDERSTANDING COMICS, by Scott McCloud, and students will create two short graphic novels or memoirs of their own. The course will accommodate all levels of artistic ability and no previous drawing or illustration experience is required. ENGL 326 counts as a writing course for English with a Creative Writing Emphasis students. Prerequisite: ENGL 255 or instructor permission.
