The SAW Year-Long Intensive Program students recently created Photo Comics projects for their 3rd quarter assignments. Shown below is just one of the many examples from our students. Check out this Photo Novella by student, Betsy Hudson!
Photo Novella. Part I
Have you created a photo comic, or, Photo Collage, before?
Why not try it out? Even if it’s just one panel.
Check out this Youtube video of Tom Hart going over Photo Novels.
Exercise from YLP:
"Make a photo-comic.
But do it in your way. Have fun.
Do you want to make a conversational comic like Mira Jacob? Do it.
Do you want to make poetic comics mixing words and pictures quietly? Great!
Do you want to collage some photos together, or mix with drawings?
Do you want to stage some exciting adventure with special effects? Go for it!
Do you want to refer to old fumetti and fotonovelas? Give it a try!
Do you want to invent something totally new? PLEASE DO!
Pay attention especially to how you feel when you are working on this. Do you feel like you are making a comic? Do you feel differently than if you were telling a story in the way we've been training for in the last few months? If you feel different, how so? What choices does this form cause you to make?"
Then, join us on our free online community to share!
I WANT TO MAKE AND READ MORE COMICS!
Do you have a story inside you that’s just itching to come out, but want some guidance to help push it out?
