| 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 Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) use basic comics making principles and techniques; 2) critically read sequential art; 3) distinguish narrative and time aspects of architecture and design; 4) develop strategies for architectural thinking through storytelling. |
