Princeton Atelier: How To Write a Graphic Novel

This course focuses on the development of comics and graphic novels beyond the obvious aspects of penning a script and drawing characters. Working with E.S. Glenn and special guests, students will explore the underlying structure of comics through assignments and activities such as critical reading, watching films, creation of original pieces, and group presentations on current projects. In addition to drawing, they will focus on other aspects of comic making such as book design, translation, publishing, and distribution. The workshop will culminate in a student-published comix anthology at the end of the semester.
