Graphic Novels

Graphic novels are book-length comics Graphic novels are book-length comics. Sometimes they tell a single, continuous story from the first page to the last; sometimes they are collections of shorter stories or individual comic strips. Comics are sequential visual art, usually with text, that are often told in a series of rectangular panels Despite the name, not all comics are funny. Many comics and graphic novels emphasize drama, adventure, character development, striking visuals, politics, or romance over laugh-out-loud comedy.

Elements of the page Pages consist of a variety of elements Panels -squares or rectangles that contain a single scene Borders/Frame - the line around the panel Gutters -space between panels Bleed: An image that extends to and/or beyond the edge of the page. Dialog Balloons -contain communication between/among characters Thought Balloons-contain a character’s thoughts Captions -contain information about a scene or character Sound Effects -visual sound clues i.e.. Wonk! Pow!

Final Assignment... Identify 3 panels that represent different aspects of today’s lesson. On a sheet of paper explain how the author/illustrator utilized those elements to impact the tone of the story. (you may have to look beyond your singular panel to fully understand the impact).
