In this 6 Credit Hour block course, students will enroll in two sections of UHON 301 to develop storytelling techniques, writing styles, and the sketching of essay/memoir comics. Throughout this course, we will read and analyze several examples of graphic memoirs, practice drawing and writing in class, and learn the process of making comics, from thumbnailing to pencils to inking. We will use the creation of graphic memoirs as a tool to reflect on aspects of one’s life, particularly points of transformation. Graphic memoir fuses storytelling with expressive mark making, varying greatly stylistically (from the naive artist to the traditionally-trained) and thematically (from the transformative nature of travel to learning to live with a disability). From the daily grind to life-changing experiences, comics capture our experience of what it means to be human. Memoir is perhaps one of the most democratic forms of writing-anyone who has lived or been passionate about a subject can write one.
