Graphic Novels
● 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).
