Description:

In this course we will explore the art of visual storytelling through comics while critically analyzing the approaches author/artists use towards representing people of color. Students also see how comic book artists creatively depict subject matter such as colonization, displacement, gentrification and colorism through the medium. The assigned reading material will cover different genres of comics while we examine some comics theory, process, and the power structures that are present within the comics industry.
