The final project for the class asked students to read the text and use excerpts from the chapters “The Veil,” “Persepolis,” and “The Heroes” as inspiration to create a series of 4 postcards and 2 posters to convey an emotion depicted in these chapters.Many thanks to Marilee Veneigas, the Art 109 instructor, for taking the plunge and being the first instructor to use One Book!!
Marilee also set up a beautiful display of all her students' work in the HSC building. Please go by and check it out!

Katy,
Thx for having my class guinea pig the book this summer. As a long-time reader of comics (esp. George Perez's work w/Wonder Woman, Eisner - The Spirit, Spiegelman - Maus etc.), I jumped at the chance to participate.
We live in such a visually saturate culture these days, comics/graphic novels are a great way to get people interested in topics that they normally wouldn't be or open themselves intellectually to uncomfortable topics. Marjane Satrapi's books do this and more.
The students focused on emotions brought up when reading the excerpt or portions of the book. Please stop by to view Joe's work as well as my other students:
- Happiness: Kei Asano & Tomoka Takimoto
- Oppression: Michael Cunningham & Frisco Sembel
- Depression: Manii Kahlon & Lauren Tomb
- Belief: Bing Han & Su Wang
- Lonliness: Jason Pai
Another resource I provided my class was a project I did at the UW on Islam. Instructors, please feel free to share the material on this site: http://www.com.washington.edu/program/news/digijournalism/islam/home.html
