The Graphic Novel: Seminar-cum-Workshop

25 October 2016

This seminar-cum-workshop is a mix of the academic's and the artists' take on the medium. It seeks to offer approaches to, and analysis of the form, and impart some training toward reading and composing in the medium. 

 
Part A, the Seminar, will consist of three talks by academics and writer-artists around popular culture and the medium.

Part A will be open to all.

Dyuti Mittal, Graphic Artist and Designer, creator of Flaw, Faces and Places, Freenace Story, and others.

 

Part B: Workshop

Participants at the workshop will learn about the basics of ideating, story mechanics, and writing a script for sequential art, as well as examine the nuts and bolts of the ninth art. They will get a unique opportunity to explore the entire workflow of a graphic novel from idea to finished script to the final artwork. The workshop will not demand drawing skills greater than 'stick figures from the participants'.

Maximum Intake: 15. Preference will be given to research scholars working with the graphic novel/comic book form; the remaining seats, if any, will be filled by interested post-grad students.
