Within an academic environment, it is often too easy to forget that there are other ways to respond to a text besides the critical essay. And so what happens -- and what can we learn -- when we respond to a creative work creatively? The history of comics in America has a rich tradition of fan art and reader interaction.For anyone who is interested in some nominal "extra credit" or some random "prize" for the winners, please bring your own Epileptic fan art to class on Friday. What does your drawing of David, Jean-Christophe, the monsters, or the ghosts look like? How does it feel to engage with the book in this way?
You don't have to be "good" at "art" to participate in this. Just try and have fun and see what happens!
