Each week, students will explore formal and narrative elements found in graphic novels and explore how pictures influence how we read a text. We'll examine how biblical Jewish texts are informed by pictures. We'll create our own visual narratives based on Jewish texts and discuss some that have already been published. Though we don't have enough time to create. full-length graphic novel or comic book, we'll explore different ways to "picture" biblical narrative.
