繪圖說故事

「繪圖說故事」本課程的重點是學習如何藉由自己所畫的圖畫說一個故事。在這個過程中，我們透過批判性思考，與密切觀察現實世界，來發展自己成為藝術家。整個課程下來，學生有機會從創作者的角度，能更了解自己，同時也能學習如何觀察、表達和描述。
一堂課2.5小時，分成三個部分: 人物畫、故事發展與整併。
在「人物畫」的部分， 我們輪流擔任模特兒用炭筆畫人物畫、人的面部表情、與絨毛動物玩具，目的是訓練觀察力，與抓出比例，怎麼準確抓住細微的實像。我們也同時學習如何以批判的眼光，來看待自己與他人的作品，藉以彼此相互協助發展自己。
在「故事發展」的部分我們探討情感表達及不同手勢所傳達的意義，我們也磨練講故事的技巧和策略。進入「整併」的過程時，我們會把當天所學，整併創造成一個成品。這麼做幫助我們重新整理當天的經歷。課程結束前，我們會進入一個更大的任務，也就是色彩的運用。藝術作品中，不同的色彩代表不同的意義，我們賦予作品顏色，結合說故事的技巧，完成一幅連環漫畫或一部書。

「Graphic Storytelling」 is first of all about learning how to tell a story through drawing. Along the way we also develop ourselves as artists through critical thinking and close observation of the real world. At the end of the course the student should have a better understanding of themselves as creators, and acquired skills in observation, expression and narration.

The 2.5 hour session is divided into three parts, Figure Drawing, Story Development and Consolidation. In Figure Drawing we take turns drawing live models and stuffed animals to practice skills of observation, proportion and accurate notation of details. We also learn how to look at our own and others’ work with a critical eye, in order to learn how to develop our own work and help others develop theirs. In Story Development we investigate emotional and gestural expression, as well as story telling techniques and strategies. And finally in Consolidation, each day we take what we have learned and try to create a finished product, which helps us bring together practice and experience of the day’s lessons.
At the end of the course we embark on a bigger project, incorporating color which of course makes it more difficult, in order to use everything we learned about storytelling and expression to make a finished story in panel or book form.
