The Art Story: Visual Art Movements, Artists, Ideas and Topics Comics as Critique: Some Approaches to Graphic Teaching, Part 2 Jonathan As promised, here is Part 2 of my thoughts and ideas about teaching with comics. This time, I want to focus on the texts I assigned in my course dedicated to the graphic novel (described in this post). I wanted the works we read in the course to reflect a range of styles and themes in the history of the development of the comics medium and the genre of the graphic novel: Will Eisner, A Contract with GodOsamu Tezuka, Metropolis and MWAlan Moore, WatchmenFrank Miller, Batman: The Dark Knight ReturnsArt Spiegelman, Maus 1 & 2Marjane Satrapi, PersepolisJessica Abel, La PerdidaYoshihiro Tatsumi, The Push Man & Other StoriesAlison Bechdel, Fun HomeFrank Miller, 300 As you can tell, I mixed in works about superheroes (Moore and Miller) with more “literary” works (Satrapi and Bechdel) that tended toward social commentary, or works that attempted to locate the personal in larger cultural and even political systems. In this regard, two graphic texts seem exemplary.

As an update to a similar 2014 initiative, the new policy, called Open Access, allows individuals to easily access the images and use them for “any purpose, including commercial and noncommercial use, free of charge and without requiring permission from the Museum.” The available works represent a wide range of movements, styles, and mediums, and span iconic paintings by Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh to centuries-old costumes and armor. You can access the unrestricted images through the Met's website. As you search its collection, all you need to do is check off the “Public Domain Artworks” option under “Show Only.” German, Armor (ca. 1520)
