Get started in the Comic.
Understand how each vignette works, each plot.
The narrative, the backgrounds, the anatomy.
Acquire each of the necessary knowledge that professionals use from the hands of professionals.
In the Joso’s general Comic course you will learn to draw from scratch with the Comic as a pretext and tool.
The course, divided into three years, aims to lay the foundations of the language of comics and provide greater strength in the student's artistic skills through the monitoring and analysis of their weekly work.
The syllabus proposes a first year aimed at learning how to draw through the fictional character, the surrounding environment and the understanding of the vignette as a unit and framework for the development of the scene.
The second year will introduce the student to the language of sequential narrative and will conclude with a knowledge of the styles and the influence exerted on it by the publication formats that define the current international comic book scene.
During the third year, the objective is for the student to acquire experience in the construction of comic pages through the different genres, from the initial planning to the final inking.
The course is divided into groups differentiated by age groups of students.
The course program has been designed and adapted to the level of interest that corresponds to each age group.
The general Comic course aims to lay the foundations of the language of the Comic and provide greater strength in the student’s artistic abilities through the monitoring and analysis of their weekly work.
The course begins with a fundamental review of the theory and practice of drawing, from the human figure to its integration into the surrounding environment.
Once the concepts of drawing have been assimilated, the program approaches the use of materials for finishing techniques.
SUBJECTS
It is the time to begin to understand the Comic as a means of expression.
In this second year, students bring a better level of drawing and this should favor the learning and practice of narrative language.
Terms such as composition, framing, racord, flashback or transitions are part of the technical vocabulary and a subject of study for any student and future cartoonist.
SUBJECTS
Study of sequential narration based on 3 working systems: American, European and Oriental, as a means for the student to acquire experience in the construction of comic pages.
The objective of this course is to develop from scripts the different genres in sequences of several consecutive pages, with previous conceptual design of characters and environments, story board planning and final inking.
END-OF-COURSE PROJECT
Creation of a dossier of work samples in PDF format, selected from the material produced during the course by each student.
The course will be taught by specialized teachers with recognized professional experience in the field of graphic narrative.
