Visual Narratives

In this course we interpret and decipher the layers of content of visual narratives from different points of view, discussing the cultural context and meaning. We are engaging in pictorial storytelling using mixed media styles, constructing meaning and researching relevant social context.

In this 3 week course we read, watched and analysed Art Spiegelman's Maus, Persepolis as graphic novel and film, Kari, a graphic novel, Waltz with Bashir, a film and River of Stories, a graphic novel.



The older posts show the first story, which visualises a childhood memory, personal feelings, a dream or a personal point of view. This could be visualized with illustration or mixed media.

The next posts show an exercise, a five line story about a half blind king, killing the painters, who don't paint him to his satisfaction. The story had to be told in very few and in one frame. The last posts show a graphic novel, created in teamwork. A story had to be told with a social or environmental content and a message.
