Reading and Writing Multimodal Texts

Illustrated books and comic books are multimodal texts. In this session, book illustrator and comic book maker Bernard Caleo will discuss the ways in which drawn images operate to create meaning in these multimodal texts. Each student will create their own multimodal text.

Topics covered

* What is a multimodal text?

* The power of pictures: is seeing believing or is reading believing?

* Angle, scale, style, juxtaposition

* Drawing as discovery
