Alright, the New York Comic Con 2009 is kicks off in less than two days! I've got my bus ticket to the Big Apple, my prints printed, and have started packing my bags. I already wrote about my goals for the con, but I wanted to talk a bit about some of the panels I'm looking forward to checking out. Here are some:
Teaching Comics
Jessica Abel and Matt Madden, instructors at the School of Visual Arts and creators of the comic textbook Drawing Words and Writing Pictures, talk about how to use comics in the classroom in this presentation aimed at English and Art teachers. Discussing techniques for reading and analyzing comics as well as creating them, Jessica and Matt will lead teachers to a better understanding of the comic medium that will empower them to make use of comics in new and exciting ways.
Friday, 2:00- 3:00 PM, 1A23
