Transfers ToUC and CSUCal-GETC Area 3BDescriptionThis course is a survey of graphic literature as literary and artistic form. The course will examine conventions of form and genre so students can explore the types of stories being told through this unique, vital medium and the effects they have on the reader. The course will also review the literary and artistic techniques used in composing graphic narratives, and use formal analysis and critical approaches to analyze the ways historical, social, economic, psychological, and aesthetic forces shape graphic literature. Focus will be on graphic novels, but will also explore other graphic narratives such as comics and digital comics.
