Dr. Friedman writes of the current Locker Gallery Exhibition:“In the spring of 2011, students in the “Graphic Novels” English elective spent the semester reading graphic novels, including Art Spiegelman’s Maus, Craig Thompson’s Blankets, Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis, and Gene Yang’s American Born Chinese. At their final project, they were asked to choose one meaningful, inspirational, traumatic or memorable moment from their lives and illustrate it in the form of a brief chapter of a graphic novel – that is, narratives that tell a story through sequential art, a blend of words and pictures. In these panels excerpted from their work, you can see how students successfully employed the visual devices and strategies they learned about in our reading.
