Introduction to Graphic Novels @ Saatchi Gallery 6th July

Some of us went to the graphic novel workshop on Sunday.

We were asked to work from a photograph from our own collection, and develop a storyline by drawing on small oblong bits of paper (thumbnails). We then worked out a narrative and decided on a rough page layout by arranging the thumbnails on a bigger piece of paper.

Comics Unmasked

Comics Unmasked

Art and Anarchy in the UK
2 May – 19 August 2014
 
Comics Unmasked is the UK’s largest ever exhibition of mainstream and underground comics, showcasing works that uncompromisingly address politics, gender, violence, sexuality and altered states. It explores the full anarchic range of the medium with works that challenge categorisation, preconceptions and the status quo, alongside original scripts, preparatory sketches and final artwork that demystify the creative process.

 Enter the subversive and revelatory world of comics, from the earliest pioneers to today’s digital innovators.
