Sixth Assignment: A Slice of Life



Still from the TV pilot for The Deep End

For next week, practice your observation and capture skills. Using found dialogue which you have observed or captured by recording it, create a slice of life comic. Try to stay true to what you have observed.

For examples look at the work of Adrian Tomine, Jessica Abel's Art Babe, or Jeff Nicholson's Through the Habitrails.  Try to find an off-campus location in which to observe and capture your "slice of life." This assignment is all about trying to stay as close to reality as possible although some editing and adaptation usually occurs. The main thrust is to not clean the dialogue up or make it "nice." Please post your assignment on your blog before class.

Here is a link to this week's assignment on the syllabus which includes a link to my comic for this week.
