Creating Poetry Comics

Catalog description

This course will focus on developing students’ writing and artistic skills by exploring a wide range of word- and image-making media, but with a specific concentration on the unique forms of poetic expression brought to life through the interplay of words and images. Prior experience with art or poetry is not a requirement for entering this course. As in more traditional Comics and Graphic Novels courses, students will encounter classic and contemporary examples of the form, while they participate in the avant-garde, multi-genre discourse between poems and images by creating and workshopping their own discoveries.
