Abstract

In this Scholar project, middle level students will create a graphic novel exploring multimodal storytelling inspired by a contemporary artist or artwork. Learners will mirror contemporary artistic practice by beginning with a big idea, responding to themes, and exploring relevant topics. Learners will research a contemporary artists or artwork, create sketches, develop a draft or storyboard, participate in an in-process critique, make revisions, and complete a graphic novel responding to the contemporary artist or artwork of their choice.
