Narrative in Sequential Art (GRA-0123)

Fall 2026 · GRA 0123 · Tufts University · 4 credits · Undergraduate

Explore different structures of sequential art and examine how to create a successful narrative. Spanning comic strip art, graphic novels, children's picture books and storyboarding for film, create engaging stories in a variety of formats and mediums, with an emphasis on the personal. Analyze and exercise ways to pull emotions from a set of images. In-class workshops develop drawing skills, problem solving, editing and revising. Computer tools such as page layout and panel design will be covered, but much of the work will begin with the most analog of materials: pencil and paper, scissors and tape. Introductory level.
