For Monday you should:
Complete the three-panel storyboard. I will be looking at your storyboards!! I am looking to see your thought process. I want to know what choices you’re making and why. I want to have a sense of what feelings or ideas you want to convey and how you thought a particular choice might help you do that.
Complete AT LEAST TWO of your panels, but preferably all three of of the panels. This means that you move from the storyboard to the larger first draft of the actual panel. You can make the panels as large as you want. If you want it to take up a whole page, that’s fine. Just make sure you don’t use the backside of the paper (unless it’s just for trying); you need to be able to put your panels in relation to each other.
It’s important that you complete at least two of the panels because on Monday, Mindy will talk about laying out the comic page. This involves the arrangement of panels. If you don’t have at least two panels, you can’t do this part. Better to have all three panels, so you can really think through it with her.
Note: I will put a folder with lots of blank paper in my mailbox in the English department. If you’re on campus, you’re welcome to get as much paper as you need. I am sorry I didn’t load you up on paper before you left.
Remember: You are responsible for bringing back all your supplies. I HAVE NO EXTRA SUPPLIES. I have specialty supplies (different size pens and pens for making smaller or bigger lines), but they are for the whole class and are only meant to be used for a specific part of your graphic, not the whole thing. There will also be rulers, masking tape, and super hearty erasures that we can all share.
Only Sophia and Maryann gave me their colored pencils, and only Maryann gave me her pen. So no one else (save the absent folks) should be asking me for any supplies on Monday.
