Overall Educational Objective | To interpret comics as both a visual and a narrative art with durée/time aspect and to study architecture through these aspects. | ||||
Course Description | Comics, graphic novels or sequential art is a narrative form which still serves as a medium for experimentation, exploration and inspiration. As an art form it continues to expand its boundaries an increasingly becoming a medium to think and debate about architecture. In this course we will be pursuing narrative potentials of comics by studying and creating them. We will also exploring them as a tool to think about architecture. | ||||
Course Description in Turkish | Çizgi roman, resimli roman ya da ardışık sanatlar deneyselliğe ve yeni keşiflere açık bir mecra olmaya devam eden ve mimarlık alanıyla giderek daha fazla ilişkisi kurulmaya başlanan bir anlatı biçimidir.
