  • Comic Books: Superheroes/Heroines, Domestic Scenes, and Animal Images
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1980 Volume II: Art, Artifacts, and Material Culture Comic Books: Superheroes/heroines, Domestic Scenes, and Animal Images Curriculum Unit 80.02.03 by Patricia Flynn The idea of developing a unit on the American Comic Book grew from the interests and suggestions of middle school students in their art classes. There is a need on the middle school level for an Art History Curriculum that will appeal to young people, and at the same time introduce them to an enduring art form. The history of the American Comic Book seems appropriately qualified to satisfy that need. Art History involves the pursuit of an understanding of man in his time through the study of visual materials. It would seem reasonable to assume that the popular comic book must contain many sources that reflect the values and concerns of the culture that has supported its development and continued growth in America since its introduction in 1934 with the publication of Famous Funnies , a group of reprinted newspaper comic strips. From my informal discussions with middle school students, three distinctive styles of comic books emerged as possible themes; the superhero and the superheroine, domestic scenes, and animal images. These themes historically repeat themselves in endless variations. The superhero/heroine in the comic book can trace its ancestry back to Greek, Roman and Nordic mythology. Ancient mythologies may be considered as a way of explaining the forces of nature to man. Examples of myths may be found world-wide that describe how the universe began, how men, animals and all living things originated, along with the world’s inanimate natural forces.

  • A Module Compiled By
    A Module Compiled by: Dr. Ekawati Marhaenny Dukut, M.Hum. FACULTY OF LANGUAGE AND ARTS SOEGIJAPRANATA CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY SEMARANG 2016 ii GRAPHIC NOVELS MODULE FOREWORD In the Faculty of Language and Arts of Soegijapranata Catholic University, students majoring in Linguistics or Literature are not only required to speak English actively but also to write actively. There are a number of writing courses to be taken, but all of them are geared so their thesis writing meets the minimum academic standard. This module, however, is created for students who want to write creatively. Not only will students have a mastery of writing good narratives, but students can develop them in accordance to the theory of writing a story that is developed into a novel with an interesting plot like that learned from the Introduction of Literature course. As the name suggests, this Graphic Novels module aims to provide students the opportunity of creating their own graphics, too. For that purpose, students are advised to exercise their drawing skills either in free hand or by use of various electronic media and drawing softwares, such as the Adobe Flash or Coreldraw. I would like to thank the writer of this module for her time and effort of creating such a creative writing course and module. Finally, I do hope that students do benefit from this module. Angelika Riyandari Dean of the Faculty of Language and Arts GRAPHIC NOVELS MODULE iii SYLLABUS Course description: This course especially prepares students to make graphic novels/ comic books, i.e. a book that more or less follows the Manga cartoon drawing of the Japanese people.

The march, which began at Guy Wicks Field, took marchers on a winding tour of campus, lead by Safety Task Force Chair Angela Rauch and Vice-Chair Rhonda Anderson.

ABSTRACT Comics are an integral aspect of America's development and culture. The comics have chronicled historical milestones, determined fashion and shaped the way society viewed events and issues. They also offered entertainment and escape. The comics were particularly effective in providing heroes for Americans of all ages. One of those heroes -- or more accurately, superheroes -- is the Batman. A crime-fighting, masked avenger, the Batman was one of few comic characters that survived more than a half-century of changes in the country. Unlike his counterpart and rival -- Superman -- the Batman's popularity has been attributed to his embodiment of human qualities. Thus, as a hero, the Batman says something about the culture for which he is an ideal. The character's longevity and the alterations he endured offer a glimpse into the society that invoked the transformations.

  • Donald Duck Has 225 Films to His Name
    Donald Duck Has 225 Films To His Name National Donald Duck Day is observed annually on June 9th. This day commemorates the birthday of the funny animal cartoon character, Donald Duck. Donald made his first screen debut on June 9, 1934, in The Wise Little Hen. Donald Duck usually wears a sailor suit with a cap and a black or red bow tie and is most famous for his semi-intelligible speech along with his mischievous and irritable personality Donald Duck has appeared in more films than any other Disney character. Donald has 225 films to his name, according to IMDb. Donald was also declared in 2002 by TV Guide as one of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all times. It was in Donald’s second appearance in Orphan’s Benefit that he was introduced to his comic friend, Mickey Mouse. Donald’s girlfriend, Daisy Duck, along with his nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, were introduced shortly after that. In addition to animation, Donald is also known for his appearance in comic books and newspaper comic strips. One of Donald Duck’s famous sayings is “Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.” The renowned early illustrators of Donald Duck were Al Taliaferro, Carl Barks and Don Rosa. Donald Duck first appeared as a drawing in a May 1934 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine promoting the film The Wise Little Hen. The magazine is sought after by collectors. Donald has gone on to star in seven feature films — which is more than any of his Disney counterparts. He is six years younger than Mickey Mouse.
