Description
Explore the experimental worlds of when comics and collage collide! Discover ways to combine collage, often free-form and intuitive, with comic making, often plotted and organized, in new, surprising ways that inform one another. First, we dive into the rich history of both mainstream and indie cartoonists who have implemented collage in their storytelling, as well as touch on the fine artists who have found the zine as a vehicle for expression. Then we will tackle a few in-class exercises, culminating in studio time to create a collaged, sequenced booklet. Students will leave with a single-page mini-comic and greater knowledge on how to express themselves in both collage and comics mediums. No collage or comics experience necessary.
