Among the activities we offered was the game <i>5-card Nancy</i>, the rules of which can still be found at <a href="https://www.scottmccloud.com/4-inventions/nancy/index.html" target="_blank">scottmccloud.com</a>.<br /><br />The guiding idea is explained by montage theory: if you juxtapose 2 movie shots or comic panels, the reader/viewer naturally presumes a narrative to connect them. This involves the audience in the creation of the story. Putting comic panels on index cards is a great way to play around with narrative possibilities.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig6sNIMzTd-95P8IaQtii80uMDJ1zwt68SfS-VBAC4cZpyEbM5i_UVGPHBPfsZQwHLj59O3zCqrOLxCePpBIxWnmb5kNmJ-dAhsqqe_2eVRbKkBhT1FSr4Qad68d1mdZH4q1f1qR_tEqYMVTOVco6jk3CkTkLgPDvm80jtWKg3_usOG8WE7xVxD38m7w/s3270/the%20erotic%20awakening%20of%20N.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2509" data-original-width="3270" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig6sNIMzTd-95P8IaQtii80uMDJ1zwt68SfS-VBAC4cZpyEbM5i_UVGPHBPfsZQwHLj59O3zCqrOLxCePpBIxWnmb5kNmJ-dAhsqqe_2eVRbKkBhT1FSr4Qad68d1mdZH4q1f1qR_tEqYMVTOVco6jk3CkTkLgPDvm80jtWKg3_usOG8WE7xVxD38m7w/w640-h492/the%20erotic%20awakening%20of%20N.jpg" width="640" /></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><br />For whatever reason, back then it was difficult getting ahold of suitable Ernie Bushmiller <i>Nancy</i> strips to work from.

I'm offering it to the public, online, beginning June 7.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We'll produce rough drafts of comic stories from a variety of departure points, generating a backlog of material for students to complete at their leisure. Weekly assignments concentrate on different kinds of comics and aspects of the medium. One week we'll spin joke strips out of literary classics, another we'll make silent, cinematic metaphors. Another assignment will involve hyperbole and explosive layouts, <i>comics as genre</i>. And there'll be space for non-fiction, memoir, ranting, and a hefty dose of formal experimentation.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a good course for artists who want to be better at writing and for writers who want insight into visual storytelling. There'll be a strong element of blockbusting-- overcoming the blank page and discovering stories lurking at the back of your mind that you didn't necessarily know you wanted to tell.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://sva.edu/academics/continuing-education/illustration-and-cartooning/cartooning/short-form-comics-22-cu-cic-2209-ol" target="_blank">Short Form Comics</a> runs on Tuesday evenings.

I've noticed a couple of video productions using the name since. They usually refer to work that somehow blurs the line between documentary and fiction. But that's true of all documentary and all fiction. By True Fiction, I mean authentic fiction. That would be fiction that has nothing true about it. Usually, I intend metafiction and other experimental approaches. I've put out a dozen or so little self-publications under the name in the decades since, FWIW.</p>cartooniologist.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07748429703380195038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222210573958557759.post-45263208032056521432020-06-09T13:39:00.002-04:002020-06-11T12:04:16.060-04:00Student Spotlight: Thinking In Ink<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

For his final Thinking In Ink project, Laurence Maslon caricatured me in homage to his favorite comic from childhood, <i>Not Brand Ecch</i>. I was doubly honored by this because that was also MY favorite comic as a child. It was the cartooning there by the great Marie Severin that inspired me to become a cartoonist.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></td></tr></tbody></table>

Check out this impressive haul of student work I collected in the inaugural semester of <a href="https://sva.edu/academics/continuing-education/illustration-and-cartooning/cartooning/thinking-in-ink-20-cu-ilc-2116-a" target="_blank">Thinking In Ink</a> this past spring. We had fun practicing with brush feathering, hatching with nibs, working with outlines, working without lines, and experimenting with ink wash, spot color layers, non-traditional tools, and stencils, among other things. </div>

This summer, we're trying afternoon online versions of my SVA courses, <a href="https://sva.edu/academics/continuing-education/illustration-and-cartooning/cartooning/figure-drawing-for-cartoonists-20-cu-cic-2218-b" target="_blank">Figure Drawing for Cartoonists</a>, <a href="https://sva.edu/academics/continuing-education/illustration-and-cartooning/cartooning/thinking-in-ink-20-cu-ilc-2116-b" target="_blank">Thinking In Ink</a>, and <a href="https://sva.edu/academics/continuing-education/illustration-and-cartooning/cartooning/cartooning-basics-20-cu-cic-2011-b" target="_blank">Cartooning Basics</a>. The upside is that these can be taken from anywhere in the world and any time, really, if you can't make the meetings. We start in June and run for 10 weeks. </div>

I'll leave you with another great page by Anne Keating. See her <a href="http://akeating.com/" target="_blank">website</a> for more, including the <a href="http://akeating.com/portfolio/mini-comic/" target="_blank">comic</a> she produced in Cartooning Basics last fall. Anne provides a nice view there of the minicomic process.</div>

In this class, we practice our figure drawing by tackling an array of challenges. We begin by looking at the human skeleton, along with the work of Posada and Holbein, in order to practice joint breaks, twist, silhouetting, and other figure staging concerns. Getting skeletons to look alive sets us up for more vivid finished art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then we work through topics like forces, foreshortening, muscle groups, and style, working from models, photos, reference, and imagination, leading up to the fun activity where we apply figures to the comic format, composing comic pages improvised from a costumed model.</div>
