Collaborate with peers to write stories, create scripts and storyboards, create comics, and publish on our class blog. We’ll discuss students’ favorite comics and graphic novels, as well as those from the broad range of genres, styles, and media currently available. We’ll discuss different theories of comic and graphic novel form, including those from the US, Asia, and Europe. Brief in-class writing assignments, story drafts, scripts, and story-boards will be published on our class blog. Students will collaborate to create comics, in genres and styles of their choice, informed by our discussions.
Please sign up via email. Include your name, MIT email address, your student status or MIT title, MIT department/section, and a sentence or two about why you're interested in the workshop.
Special Instructions: The work we do in class will be published on our class blog, but you can opt out of sharing your work online. After signing up via email, on Jan. 11 please bring your laptop and charger, your favorite comic or graphic novel (a link online is ok), and a couple of ideas for short stories - from real life or your imagination - that you’d like to create in graphic or comics form. Estimated work on comic outside of class: 1-2 hours per day on first four days.
