Comics and Cartooning

Description du cours

Whether you call them comic books, graphic novels, manga, bandes dessinées, or webtoons, comics are an art form that has global reach but is often misunderstood. Led by instructors from Carleton University’s Communication and Media Studies program, this mini-course introduces students to the history and cultural impact of comics. Students will develop an appreciation for different styles and forms of comics while building towards writing and drawing their own mini-comics and zines through hands-on exercises to be shared in a course mini-convention at the end of the week.
