Graphic Nonfiction

Catalog description

This critical-creative seminar traces the rise of graphic nonfiction in a variety of genres: graphic memoir, graphic journalism, graphic essay, graphic self-help, and so on. Through a combination of critical and creative tasks, the course asks: how do we think and write not just with images but through images? No prior experience with comics or drawing is necessary.
