• B.A. in visual communication: Concentration in sequential art
• SCAD-Savannah, SCAD-Atlanta and SCAD-eLearning
• School of Liberal Arts

The field of sequential art encompasses graphic novels, comic books, comic strips, children’s books and storyboards for animation and film. Sequential artists combine words and pictures to form entertaining and effective narratives.

Students explore computer applications for sequential art such as coloring and cover design, as well as professional opportunities in freelancing and self-publishing.

The Savannah College of Art and Design is one of few institutions that offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in this specialized field.
A progressive curriculum allows students to create/write a story and then pencil and ink the story or utilize digital sequential art applications.

Annual Comics Art Forum
The Comics Art Forum brings comic artists to Savannah, Ga., to discuss sequential art with students, review portfolios and offer their professional insight. For more information, contact Trisha Albano at 912.525.4668.
