Understanding Comics Reflection


I really enjoyed this reading. I now have a new perspective when it comes to comics. From the second chapter, I realized why humans have a connection with cartoons. The simplicity of the cartoons allows us as the viewers to become the cartoons with a few human facial features. Without defined features of a human face for example it allows us to be taken into the imaginary world. I know from experience from watching the Powerpuff Girls as a girl. With the simply drawings of the characters, I sometimes imagine myself as one of the Powerpuff girls. Even when I draw my own cartoons, I sometimes get lost in the drawings and get taken into the imaginary world. From reading chapter five, I also learned how drawings could display emotions. I thought this quote was very accurate “ Art does not reproduce the visible: rather it makes visible,” by Paul Klee. Drawing can display emotion in various ways. It can be the from the ways the lines are showed on a comic that shows if a person is sad, mad, happy or in loved.  I know from the drawings I that I do, whatever emotions I feeling at the moment, I try to capture it in my drawings with a few lines. In conclusion these are the things I realized and learned from this reading.
