Students in Studio III created non-linear visual stories about what has most shaped their identities. Students learned about visual hierarchy and balance and successfully used text and image to add depth to their work. This project is inspired by the Contemporary American artist, Aidan Koch. Koch creates non-linear “comic books” which contain simple emotive drawings that are loosely connected to each other, allowing space for the viewer to interpret their meaning.
