Cíle předmětu
Upon completion of the course, the students will be familiar with comics theory (ie. text/image relationships, panel transitions, narrative pacing, etc.) and be able to apply it to critically analyze graphic novels and other comics forms. In addition, the students will have an understanding of the rich history of American comics, from the early strips to the graphic novels and webcomics of today, and its context in the broader American culture. The students will also be making comics, and so will pick up some comics skills of their own!
