Class experience

In this class, students will learn the following:
--What is narrative art and the historical trajectory of narrative art that led to the development of comics

--How comics relate to other forms of art and media
--How comics are written and developed, generally
I have a masters degree in art history and have been studying Disney, Pixar, and Marvel for over two years. I teach at the collegiate level course on the art of Disney and Pixar that includes an extensive discussion of Marvel and how it fits into the Disney canon. I would love to share this knowledge with your students and help them to understand why their favorite movies are so important in the art and entertainment industries today!
