2 HOur presentation

(I will group the desks in groups of 4 but 5 if I need to)
Sponge:
My sponge will be a discussion that will be focused on what they think of when they hear the word comics. It will also lead to what people read and what interests them within the world of comics.
Foundation:
I will talk about where the name comics came from and a brief history about how comics evolved. I won't get too in detail about it but I will talk about the comic code and the history of that, and how that lead to the underground movement in the 70's.
Anwser 1: Clarity
I will talk about reading Understanding Comics By Scott McCloud and how it brought me to this anwser. I will then cover Symbols and Icons, Body language/facial expression and Panel transitions and how they all bring clarity to the reader. Then I'll pair them up to play a quick game of pictionary.
Anwser 2: Research
I will talk about interviewing Stan Sakai and how he really drove home the idea of Research making the story. I will cover referencing photographs, life drawings and historical research and how different artist applied it to their art and story. Then I will (with the help of the class) read the comic Burger for One by Frank Stockton.
Anwser 3: Control
I will talk about my interview with Levon Jihanian and how you showed me the mini-comic Henry and Glen Forever and how it really opened the door that you can make anything. I will cover Self-publishing, design possiblly, and, the networking aspect of it. Then I will give them each a -constructed mini-comic book were they can draw their own comic or picture or writing.
Product:
I will show my mini-Comic that I finished and also talk about the things I went throught to finish it. I will also address the work ethic I gained by working my comic.
