Crafting Comics
Elective Unit
Unit Description
Crafting stories in oral, visual and written form is one of the fundamental ways that people share experiences and record our culture and history. This project-based subject focuses on storytelling, visual literacy, creative writing, illustration and design.
Students will engage with multimodal narratives in the form of graphic novels and comics, critically evaluating what aspects of them they will draw inspiration from in their own creation. They will develop their own narrative, refining their artistic and creative writing techniques, as well as develop analytical skills to assist them in unpacking visual and written language. Please note students do not have to be skilled artists to undertake this elective.
