Sketch 7: Quadriptych
I made a quadriptych about my dog stealing food from our trashcan while we were out of the house. He is usually not so smart, but he gets very creative when getting treats. The most challenging part of this assignment was deciding what to include and exclude in my comic strip, but being able to […]

As with all my other sketches, I simply used a mechanical pencil and notebook. I edited the photo slightly so the lines are darker and the page has less of a yellow tint from the room’s lighting. Making a quadriptych comic rather than a triptych made it feel a little easier as I had more […]
Read moreTracing Pages Reflection
Tracing the pages from Stitches and Spinning proved very different from what I was usually asked to do in English class. It forced me to ponder the power comics bring to sharing ideas and knowledge in real-time. By tracing Stitches, I realized how much information and emotion could be conveyed in a single page, despite […]

I watched a documentary about colonialization this weekend and the idea for a Quadriptych on British Raj popped into my head.

For this quadriptych I decided to make it about how easily someones hard work can be ruined. The story starts with someone working on folding clothes to make the area look nice. Then, once they finish they go on their break, but once they come back from their break not even 10 minutes later their […]
Read moreLiteracy Comic Reflection
My Comic After transforming my literacy narrative into a comic, my thoughts about the original narrative haven’t changed much. I felt I had a strong understanding of what I wanted to convey by the time I finished creating the initial narrative. The challenge in turning it into a comic was figuring out how to visually […]
Read moreLiteracy Comic Reflection
I found the process of writing my literacy narrative as a comic to be quite different than just writing it as an alphabetic literacy narrative. In an alphabetic literacy narrative you could write and write and the more details you had, the more perspective you were able to offer the reader. However, in a comic, […]
