WRIT 353 Nonfiction Image&Text/Comics will focus on texts that use both prose and image (drawings, photographs, found images and collage) in combination.
Please note: You do not have to be able to draw to take this class.
The class will tackle concepts such as sequential visual storytelling with the idea of understanding how to use language and images together to create richer and more complicated narratives. Forms we will look at include the graphic memoir, graphic literary journalism, the photo essay, and the video essay. We’ll also be reading texts such as Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home and Thi Bui’s The Best We Could Do.
