THE ART OF SEEING ANOTHER WAY
THE CHARACTERISTIC OF A NARRATIVE
Course Description: The course makes it emphasis on the shaping of forms to create characteristics and narratives through cartooning. As cartooning is the simplicity of form in nature and man the act of drawing is thought of as pleasure and not a specialized creative process. The course involves the "shapes" of the thing, the methods of problem solving, analysis, creating visual and written narrative as well as the expressive essence of man. Here shape is supplemented by cartoon.
Intent: To use drawing as -a tool to create comedy and narrative approaches in illustrating stories. The students will deal with the element, shape, so to identify in way of form. The process is a basic measure for developing skills and intuitive, divergent thinking.
Objective: To demonstrate that every item, object, thigh has its own shape or shapes for which can and will be defined. To identify any shape is the beginning of a working process of seeing, of knowing, subtracting, and redefining one’s ability to build imagination in creating images.
Activity: Creating one phrase narrative and building from it cartoons, which are made just of shapes from nature or from concepts on man (e.g., rectangles, triangles, circles, etc., just to name a few). For reference, refer to syndicated comics, cartoons on Television and also from favorite characters from your own experience. You may wish to use the story line of other comics, yet using your own drawing. As the purpose is the shape, my wishes are that the process should begin by identifying the shapes in the characters you are illustrating, then from that point the steps are toward making its forms. Begin by drawing out several possible ideas, toward your main character.
Motivation: Is first and most the "discovery" of learning ways to see differently. Becoming comfortable with self worth and abilities, skills as these are the basis of a self indulgent of social structures.
