WRCT 317 – Writing and Drawing Comics

This is an intensive workshop course for students interested in making comics. We will read comic strips and books that vary widely in genre and style, and learn to identify and emulate cartooning techniques. This is a permission of instructor course. No comic experience is necessary, but students will be expected to create work each week, so some comfort with drawing/artmaking is encouraged. To apply, please email srwarren@wesleyan.edu with 2-3 samples that show both writing and drawing/artmaking (e.g., a creative essay and a selection of sketches, a painting and a poem, etc.).
