Unleash your imagination and master new methods of self-expression via visual storytelling with this live online short course, under the expert guidance of Andrzej Klimowski and Miguel Angel Valdivia.
Do you have a story you want to tell?
It is difficult to create a narrative that can engage a wide audience. We soon become aware of the importance of form. A narrative needs structure; it has to be built. Composition, tone, colour, pacing and tempo are the things we have to engage with.
This course offers a starting point to build your story.
Led by Andrzej Klimowski, The Graphic Novel: Visual Storytelling offers a fresh approach to the subject. Aimed at releasing the imagination, this is an open opportunity for self-expression. The course is supported by celebrated RCA alumnus and illustrator Miguel Angel Valdivia.
Over 8 online sessions across 4 weeks, 10am – 2pm BST per session, you will gain:
- a deeper understanding of contemporary approaches to storytelling, visual narratives and illustration in the context of graphic novels
- insights on the potential of location, characterisation, materiality and perception in the creation of visual narratives and graphic novels
- confidence in creating your own illustration and visual narratives
- skills to work in a range of settings from traditional to contemporary, from print to electronic, handmade or computer-generated.
This course is ideal for:
- professionals working in illustration, visual communication and/or communication design
- prospective RCA Illustration, Visual Communication and Writing students
