New York City Urban Sketchers

Sequential art describes art forms that use images deployed in a specific order for the purpose of graphic storytelling such as comics.

<h2>Sequential Art Sketch Session</h2>Sequential art is a visual form of expression and communication. So many different art styles can be used when creating sequential art, comic strips, graphic novels, storyboards, or even children&#x27;s book illustration. Let&#x27;s get together Saturday June 18 to each sketch a short story. &quot;Sequential art refers to the art form of using a train of images deployed in sequence to graphic storytelling or convey information. The best-known example of sequential art is comics, which are a printed arrangement of art and balloons, especially comic books and comic strips. Yet, there are older forms of sequential art that predates comics by millennia. Some of the earliest examples are the cave paintings, Egyptian hieroglyphics and paintings and pre-Columbian American picture manuscripts, which were recurrent mediums of artistic expression.&quot; (The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia) For some of us, this art form is &quot;outside our comfort zones.&quot; If that&#x27;s the case, come stretch yourself and explore with us sequential art. If you are not sure what story to tell here are some ideas you can draw:<ul><li>a joke</li><li>a fairy tale</li><li>hieroglyphics</li><li>cave drawings/petroglyphs</li><li>illustrations to a nursery rhyme</li><li>illustrations/ panels for a children&#x27;s book </li></ul>Registration is open for this unguided sketch event held on Saturday, June 18 from 10:00 am EDT.
