Storytelling in Asian Art
Mural to Manga: Storytelling in Asian Art
Epic Asian tales such as India’s Bhagavad-Gita, Iran’s Shahnameh/, and China’s Journey to the West/ have inspired artists for centuries and continue to capture the imaginations of comic book artists today. In this seminar we will delve into the Asian classics and their many painted, sculpted, and printed interpretations in order to understand why artists depicted these compelling narratives in such drastically different ways. For the final project students will create their own one-shot comic based on an Asian short story or folktale. This course is not open to students who have taken FYSE 1421. 3 hrs. sem.
