Alison Bechdel, Fun Home A Family Tragicomic
instructions:
Describe the artist's style.
What is this book about (both literally and symbolically)?
How does the style suit the subject matter?
How are panels used by the artist? Are they consistent, varied in size?
Are we given a context/setting for the story? If so, describe it.
Is it a chronological or non-chronological story and why does this matter?
How are the character's emotions conveyed (facial expression, weather metaphors, way of
speaking, etc.).
How is text used by the artist? More dialogue than narration? How varied are the fonts and
for what purpose?
What is the approximate image to text ratio and why is it important for this tale?
Is the book in black-and-white or colour? Why does this matter in relation to the setting?
Thank you!
