What did you learn in class on Monday that impacted how you approach reading comics and/or understanding Ms. Marvel?
In class on Monday I learned a lot since I love reading comics. Even though I am not good at drawing and neither coming up with ideas or stories but I love reading comics I just enjoy reading it. On Monday I learned something very different that I had never learned before. I mean it was the first time I learned how difficult and challenging it is to write comics and that author of the comics is not one person. Comics cannot be done without writing and drawing and some of us might agree with me that not all of us are good at both. I learned how difficult it is to come up with idea and images to draw the story.
Did it impact your choice of format for this assignment? What format are you thinking of using?
The activity we did in the class drawing what we were asked for based on the 2 sentences, it was fun but it was so difficult to come up with the drawing. I was blank. It taught me that an artist has to focus on the story and then draw the story or wither draw the story and it will be easier to write the story. What I mean is one cannot be done without other. There has to be either writing or drawing. For this assignment #3 I might focus on my own little comic by choosing one part from Ms. Marvel. I know I am worst at drawing but I want to try something new by my own.
What is unique about this format that will allow you to learn more about the comic than what is expressed on the surface? What questions or concerns or excitements do you have about creating a project in this format?
Like I said before drawing and texting, both are so important for the comic but also the characters matter and their face reaction/emotion and their surroundings matter in the comic because reader have to have some idea of what’s the situation in the time.The question I have is that if I am writing and drawing for this assignment, I will understand and know what’s going on but how will the viewers understand what I am trying to deliver. So am a bit confuse and lost.
What is Ms. Marvel teaching you about writing so far?
Ms. Marvel is teaching me a lot. In my first assignment I used and online web to draw and write a story and I thought that is a type of like comic but now I realize I was wrong. It doesn’t go like that. Reading Ms. Marvel taught me that one situation have to go through very clearly like you cannot skip what is in between. And it also taught me that everything is important in the drawing every subject matters in the writing and drawing.
Hira,
I’m so stoked to hear that you’re thinking of venturing out of your comfort zone to do some drawing! Regarding your question, I am confident that the viewers will be able to understand what you’re creating: you have a beautiful, beautiful way with words, and I am certain that will translate into your visual storytelling, at least to some degree. If not, that’s okay: that’s what the peer review process is for! Your classmates — and I — will help you by letting you know if there’s anything we think could be more clear in your storytelling. I also think that your comic in the first assignment was actually really great: it doesn’t have to be in linear format, and lots of comics skip around in time — that’s completely okay! You can totally experiment with different forms of storytelling in your project: I’m excited to see what you come up with!!!
