These pages shows
the many different ways she chooses to convey information,
from drawing a map, to drawing details to writing dialogue.
The assignment was to have your
character do a dance. The point was to have students
figure out the structure of their characters, and how
to make convincing movements fluidly. We ask them to
create a smooth sequence of gestures, which helps them
think linearly, which is great training for communicating
and understanding gestures of human interaction.

This exercise asked the students
to create a story in the Cinderella or "Rags-to-Riches"
mold using only images they copy out manga provided
by the teacher. This encourages students to find content
in images they can't read ordinarily (manga is all in
Japanese.) In addition, we begin to see stories as patterns
and begin to recognize classic themes throughout literature.
This example is page 1 of a 5 page story and was produced
in approximately 20 minutes.

Nicky B's story,
while vulgar and full of expletives, is fun and the
product of research that the student had to do to complete
the assignment. He had to organize his research and
present it in a linear way.
