Description
In this in-depth study of the art of cartooning, students focus on the development of drawing skills (human anatomy, shading and perspective), effective storytelling, and character creation. Significant time is spent drawing the figure from observation as well as on building first-hand experience with the many genres of comics. Projects including \'93how-to\'94 comics, autobiographical comics, political cartoons and hero/villain cards allow students to gain valuable skills for careers in illustration, storyboarding, game design or animation.
