Thinking in Comics

Abstract

In this chapter, the author argues that removing the words that so quickly built up walls. He gives people a reason to stick around long enough to engage in difficult conversations and perhaps find common ground. The author describes as those without much drawing experience realize how much they already know about drawing—and how deeply students is connected to their thinking. Making comics requires thinking simultaneously about individual elements and the whole composition. Project solidified an essential, and it points to arts-based ways of working not as separate activities reserved for artists, but fundamental literacies that everyone can bring to bear on their own thinking and ways of working. Working in comics means more than just attending to the linear sequence of individual images the author must also contend with the spatial organizational structure of the whole page as well.
