Seniors, It's Last Call

For those of you taking Senior Project with me, the last call for sending me final scripts is Monday of Week 10.  Make sure they're polished, clean, and the best representation of your writing.  For those of you who have been ducking and covering, bobbing and weaving for the term, you can no longer hide, you must stand and be counted.  Monday, midnight, in my e-mail.

New Comic Book Industry Class

VSCM 465 ST: The Graphic Novel M 3 – 6 The art of telling a story using pictures has been with us since early man scratched on the cave walls. Political comics, comic books and comic strips have been part of popular culture since the mid 1800s. Recently we have seen the rise of the graphic novel in popular culture. This course serves as a comprehensive look at the medium; a history of the medium, a look at how graphic novels are made, the diversity of the medium,  how they are edited, designed, sold, and marketed.  The course will mix reading and analysis of select titles, lecture, and discussions with industry experts, including an artist, author, agent, editor, publisher, retailer, and designer. (Rich Johnson). This is a new elective!

This class is only open to Graphic Design and Screenwriting majors.  If you're a Film & Video student who took the Comic Book Writing Class and are interested in this one, e-mail me and we can over-ride you in.  Seating is LIMITED.

AN EVENING WITH KAL RUDMAN

He’s been called the Prophet of Pop, the Round Mound of Sound, and the Big Beat. He’s
Kal Rudman – most famously known as the Man with the Golden Ears - and for over
four decades he’s run The Friday Morning Quarterback, one of the most influential trade
publications in the music industry. Come hear from Kal about his life and times and
join us for a reception afterwards. Learn how this local high school teacher became a
legendary music industry mogul.

Presented by:

RSVP: Karen Curry (karen.curry@drexel.edu)

Kal's work goes far beyond music. Just ask the students at Drexel University, Temple
University, University of the Arts and the Community College of Philadelphia. Kal
and his wife Lucille have sponsored innovative programs at these colleges that pave
the way for the next generation of media leaders. The Rudmans also support the work
of the Police and Fire Departments of Philadelphia, Camden’s Creative Arts Morgan
Village Academy Choir and dozens of other deserving groups. From the classroom, to
the studio, to the classroom again, Kal Rudman’s passion for music and for the city of
Philadelphia has been an inspiration to us all.

Hear the Creative Arts Morgan Village Academy Choir perform. Recently back
from winning second place in the Young Prague Music Competition in the Czech
Republic, they competed against high school and college choirs from eight countries!
