Saturday. Chapters 7 and 8

In chapter 7, the question of whether comics are a formed of art is raised. According to the author, art is anything that is not created from survival or reproduction. He goes on to explain that art is everything that our personalities and identities help develop. The structure of how a piece is created is based on; idea, form, idiom, structure, craft, and surface. These steps are subconsciously followed, but they must be followed with determination and that potential to want to create something.
In chapter 8, color is introduced. In comics, cyan, magenta, and yellow are the primary colors used to create the iconic representation of what American comics look like. The mood, tomes, role, depth, and other characteristics of comics were represented by a combination of color contrasts and intensities. Colors hold a lot of power, especially when their combinations are mixed and placed next to each other. These colors give of sensations that add to the story line, and are able to express feelings, shapes and depth.
