Week Three (Oct. 18) – Getting Your Comic Book Started

Hand with pen writing in comic panel boxesHi,

Enjoyed our time at the Museum of Art last week, and hoping you all found inspiration for your comic book themes and visual style from the exhibitions and artwork on display at the museum.

This week it is very important that you have completed in full your Creative and Discussion Journals #2 and #3.  In class this week we will be doing group activities around getting everyone to the stage of having a good amount of your brainstorming ideas down on paper.

Hand holding pen drawing in comic panel boxI expect everyone to come to this week’s class ready to discuss and continue to develop on the following:

  1. What is the specific theme from Under the Feet of Jesus your comic book will address?
  2. What is the specific citation from Under the Feet of Jesus that you will be using in your comic book? And how will you incorporate this citation within your comic book design?
  3. Who are your main characters of this comic book story?
  4. What bits of action will occur in the comic book?
  5. What are your initial sketches for the layout of your comic book pages? As in sketch out and outline what action will take place on each of your pages (what is happening on page one, what is happening on page two, and so on)?

Of note we will also have two students from last year’s FIG talking about their work on the comic project.

As always please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Robert
