Comic Book Study Through Roy Lichenstein
No full textCreative project abstract: “Compositional Comic Book. Exploring Roy Lichtenstein’s style through a sequential and storyboarding graphic format.” I am presenting Creative project allowing me to research and understand Roy Lichtenstein’s use of lines, colors, and design to create a comic book while allowing myself to experiment and design my own story based on his use of different emotional effects between pieces. The goals of my project: 1. Develop character(s) based on one piece of his work and apply the technique that he uses within that piece. 2. Study and illustrate use of his strokes while allowing myself to possibly understand his work in another medium 3. Study and use the visual effects that Lichtenstein is able to replicate in animation and motion graphics. The conclusion of this creative project will greatly impact in my future professional work as, not only an animator, but an illustrator as well to better understand how to become successful at telling a story while having a muse for a jumping point and, in the future, allowing me to create works through inspiration

Spenserian Satire: A Tradition of Indirection
No full textScholars of Edmund Spenser have focused much more on his accomplishments in epic and pastoral than his work in satire. Scholars of early modern English satire almost never discuss Spenser. However, these critical gaps stem from later developments in the canon rather than any insignificance in Spenser\u27s accomplishments and influence on satiric poetry. This book argues that the indirect form of satire developed by Spenser served during and after Spenser\u27s lifetime as an important model for other poets who wished to convey satirical messages with some degree of safety. The book connects key Spenserian texts in The Shepheardes Calender and the Complaints volume with poems by a range of authors in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, including Joseph Hall, Thomas Nashe, Tailboys Dymoke, Thomas Middleton and George Wither, to advance the thesis that Spenser was seen by his contemporaries as highly relevant to satire in Elizabethan England
