Hey everybody
so this is my first post and here we go!
This week we had a guest speaker come in and talk to us about graphic novels.Theres this quote that stuck with me:
"Storytelling using art in sequence is a historically old human tradition" this is something i agree with completely.From cavemen art on the walls to graphic novels like Persepolis, man(and woman) have had this instinct to express stories through art. It gives the story a whole new view. When reading a book, we imagine it in our on way but with graphic novels, we see the story how the author wants us to picture it.This way we get the true meaning of how the story is and the tone of the story that the author meant for it to have.This can ably to Persepolis because with the style of Satrapi's art we can understand how she wants people to see her life story. Even through a few panels on a page, Satrapi is able to convey her life and how she saw it. She uses a bubbly style of cartoon art that is a great contrast against the dark content and events that happen in her life.
so to conclude that, i thought that Persepolis is good evidence to support that quote because storytelling through art is an old human tradition and also instinct.
Thats the end of my first post and more will be coming this weekend!!
