The SWORD HUNTERS vol. 1 by Wei Lian Lin

Please get in the habit of writing your full name (your signature) on every sheet of paper. Also recommended, A good ICON. Notice how the "Vol. 1" text uses a hexagon STOP SIGN. This is asking the readers eyes to STOP and observe the volume ... It reads right to left, top to bottom.

This piece of sequential art demonstrates a unique comprehension of our studies in anime class here at Edwards Middle School. Wei Lian Lin shows and tells a balanced story, understanding subtly and story structure. The artist understands abstraction, figurative and iconic drawing styles at the basic level. He is also beginning to play with tones of dark.

Wei Lian Lin understands

Onomatopoeia.

Listen to "Gulp" and "ding dong ding dong", "words" that represent the sounds of what they mean.

Here is onomatopoeia's definition on Wikipedia.

Onomatopoeia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

For comic book villain, see Onomatopoeia (comics). For the Flobots album, see Onomatopoeia (album).

A sign in a shop window in Italy proclaims "No Tic Tac", in imitation of the sound of a clock.

An onomatopoeia or onomatopœia ( pronunciation (US) (help·info), from the Greek ὀνοματοποιία;^[1] ὄνομα for "name"^[2] and ποιέω for "I make",^[3] adjectival form: "onomatopoeic" or "onomatopoetic") is a word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes. Onomatopoeia (as an uncountable noun) refers to the property of such words. Common occurrences of onomatopoeias include animal noises, such as "oink" or "meow" or "roar". Onomatopoeias are not the same across all languages; they conform to some extent to the broader linguistic system they are part of; hence the sound of a clock may be tick tock in English, dī dā in Mandarin, or katchin katchin in Japanese.

Essentially, Wei Lian Lin has shown applied knowledge. This book is a good guide book to how to tell a story all by yourself without the help or need of a fellow classmate. I believe all of you can tell graphic novels and manga series

But in order to work in a group, you need to understand every part of the group's tasks in undergoing the project.

Wei Lian Lin GETS every piece of a mini comic or web comic.

We are now going to go into production mode of constructing mini comics and "Giant Size" comics. The Giant Size comics will be made using a saddle stapler and 11 X 17 piece of paper.

The mini comics are of the same size paper but cut and folded with a pair of scissors.

Mini Comics are 6 pages with a front and a back cover.

Giant Size comics can be as short or as long as your want.

Go into groups:

GROUP 1

Student group 1 writes independently. Subject: ONOMATOPOEIA.
Brainstorm a story through the Will Eisner Story Structure as a group.
Then, individually, free write a story through the structure.
Share aloud work at the end of class. This will focus on our communication skills.

ALSO: FOCUS on diversifying VOCABULARY in these comics. Continuously saying "shut up" (which is repeated twice) makes for stilted reading. Attempt to increase the vocabulary of your writing. Try saying "silence!" or "quiet!"

GROUP 2:

PENCILED or Markered LIGHTBOX EXERCISE.

WIth GIANT SIZE paper, do abstract figure drawings. Fill the whole page with figures and lines. Think of different types of lines or dots or marks. Think of all three.

GROUP 3:


Character and Logo development. Think of interesting logos, sports team logos, school logos. Think of good characters, villainous characters, funny characters.

Now, Observe the following environments. Try putting your character into a 3D setting by using PERSPECTIVE DRAWING!
