Hello All,
I noticed that some students are posting regularly and adding to the blog in a substantial way. Great work. There are others I haven't heard from so much. Where are you? We are in the library until Friday. You should have your project and presentation wrapped up by then. Don't forget top write the paper portion of the project, citing sources within and providing a works cited page. I have slots assigned for presentations on Monday, Tuesday (unless we drop), and Wednesday. I will give you your day and time slot this Thursday. Be ready to go!

I'm doing project A and I've found everything except "identify the 'giants' of the comics industry" I know some of them but I'd like more.
ReplyDeletethanks,

http://www.expressmilwaukee.com/article-6928-comics-transformed-into-comix.html. Hi Sammf, I was working with a student yesterday on underground comix and this website mentions some "giants" at the end of the article that participated in the underground movement. Another underground giant mentioned elsewhere was Spain Rodriguez.
ReplyDeleteSamm, one more note, if you search
ReplyDeleteBoston Comic Con 2009, they have an entire list of guest artists with mini bios that might be helpful to you.
Today I found a list of all the Awards Iron Man has won and made a list of similarities and differences for our powerpoint. Although they didn't win alot of awards they were nominated for a number of big name awards. Including Academy awards and the Grammy Awards
ReplyDeleteI just started work on the timeline after working on the CCA. There's surprising little for timelines on the internet, so I'll have to compile the information from my research.
ReplyDeleteToday I finished the power point, and tonight we're all putting it together over Lexi's. The Golden age was really the start of modern comics, with extended plot lines, and characters that spoke to the audience
ReplyDeleteMy partner and I are doing C and im curious abotu the paper part, is it mandatory? Or is the paper part the writing in the "medium of our choice" or do we need to do a sepperate paper?
ReplyDeleteTort...s joined us TODAY!!!! and we found other awards and searched deep into the depths of production by finding people such as CAMERA-MEN such as Bob Gorlick who won the BEST CAMERA OPERATOR award. Erik watched the special features and found absoultely nothing useful. THANK YOU SPECIAL FEATURES. We have noticed that there are some good looking people behind the graphic novels. There is a disclaimer to the DARK KNIGHT which will be explained in our power point. As of now, our only struggle is finding the history of production of the movie.
ReplyDeleteSo for the past few days i've been putting together the timeline on Comics and Graphics novels in the power point. I spent the end of last week editing the information and figuring out what was important and what wasn't. I've spent this whole week putting together the power point and working on my essay.
ReplyDeleteSo i had some trouble actually finding a good solid history on graphic novels. On the website i found they gave me history on comics and some stuff on graphic novels, but nothing really on actual graphic novels, but i finally found something on monday so if anyones having trouble let me know.
ReplyDeleteMe nick and lexi are just about done, we are having timeline trouble, does anyone know a good program to do a timeline in? we also jsut have to finish citations
ReplyDeleteI forgot my power point at home so I'm working on more pictures to put on it. Also the famous comics, writers, and industry leaders I have to find pictures and write a caption. Over the weekend I'm sure I'll be puttting our different parts together.

Have you found timeliner yet? It's a good program and even though it costs for the full program, you can download a demo and still use it fine for the project.
ReplyDeleteI restarted work on the timeline because I realised it had to be visual, so I'm kind of back to where I started.
ReplyDeletei got pictures of cool comics including the legendary, Zap #4 comix, which was banned in the USA in 1973. I also did some citations for the pitcure! Yeah! good times...
ReplyDeleteYes, Matt Russo. The paper is mandatory. Review the project directions.
ReplyDeleteMs. Bakis
so i was also having trouble with the timeline,but then decided to just do it in power point doing a decade each slide. It's a bit of work, but it works well.
ReplyDeleteFor my project my mother will film me. I will bring in a dvd. I will show it to the class. It will be about Stan Lee. He worked with Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, he co-created Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Daredevil, Doctor.
ReplyDeleteToday, Lauren and I got a lot done. We've started working on the powerpoint and the paper. Thanks to celkins I was able to find more information about the "giants" of the comic industry.
ReplyDeleteToday, I went on http://mangafox.com to see if there were any differences between the art in his manga and the art in his animes. The art in Shuna no Tabi was noticeably different, as the art was sketchier, everything was done by hand, and everything was done in watercolour so all the textures were different. He also seems to reuse the elk "Yakkul" in a lot of his series.
ReplyDeleteI finally finished the timeline and I'm now in the process of systematically going through all the requirements for the project again and adding to the information I already have. I'm starting to turn my URL works cited into MLA format as well.
ReplyDeleteToday I was looking for some comparisons between the iron man movie and comic. I came across this website: http://www.superherostuff.com/iron_man_movie.html
ReplyDeleteThis website explained what happend in the comic book, and so from there I could tell many major differences bewtween the comic and the movie.
So I missed two blogs so here I am. To day we presented and I felt it went well. Justin and I successfully completed the requirements. However we should have included why Christopher nolan choose to do the Dark Knight.
