Week 4 The comic book (3 points)

 During this week lecture we approached the basic idea and form of the comic book example. now understanding what makes a comic what it is and how many different genres can be implemented in this format. we have a opportunity to see a new strong movement on the comic history and it is the appearing of the underground comics culture. this new boom gave us the opportunity to apply all these exploration done in past times and to start understanding the market in a way better way. 

the most interesting reading I found this week as to be able to see the fantastic four storyboards. one of my favorite subjects is the pipeline of how comic books are done from the creation of the idea to the inking and coloring. I did a comic myself base mostly in the manga style. I learned about formatting and specific thing related to human psychology that involves how we process information and how we read. having the chance to see these storyboards and try to look for the original comics was an amazing experience. there is something very interesting and almost unique in matters of how an artist constructs and develops his work than keep me very interested the whole time.

the influence of underground comics changed the relationship of society with them for ever. the comics were able to become the voice of the few and bring courage back to the writers to express themselves about stronger subjects and make a difference in their culture. I feel it was almost an unstoppable case of how art will always trigger a rebellious part in the soul of the human race.

I choose to read the sandman by Neil Gaiman. this piece of literature was a very interesting one to me, it treats one of my favorite subjects of the human mind and gives us a very interesting introspective view of the dreamworld and the entities that ruled this fantastic world. I dead two volumes of this series, volume number one preludes and nocturnes and volume 2 the doll's house. in one we have the

WEEK 3 the comic strip (4 points)

 This week We read the Smithsonian collection of comics. These comics were very different to what I was used to read. there was many different subjects that were exposed and represented in a very unique way. these comics help me understand a wider representation of the society at that time. the vision in matters of roles and races where really different to what we have in the modern society. is difficult to be specific about this week reading because the comics were very short and also threading many different subjects at the same time. it was sincerely interesting and very eyes opening on the how much potential comics have to tell a story of deal with a specific subject, and how influential can be to our society. there was definitely an era of experimentation where the limits of the comics stand. this time was very important to explore what was going to be the reaction of society with comics and how intense was going to be their influence on people of all ages and ethnicities. from th
