@@apoetreadstowrite Phillip, I would love to hear your thoughts after you try some graphic novels. My advice is to read them slowly, paying attention to the visual aspect of the storytelling.
Thanks for this. My daughter (8) loves to draw and says she wants to be a dress designer. We’ve been trying to get her to read more, but she’s only shown interest in graphic novels so far. There are a couple here that are perfect for her. A couple I’ll keep in mind for myself as well. Wonderful video, thanks!
@@johnalderete5328 Thanks for your message. I think your daughter will find Art Club appealing. The four kids in the club each have different interests within the arts and there’s lots of information about art-related careers.
Love these Art graphic novels. I read Alison earlier this year and loved it. Very interested in the Degas & Cassat book. I dont I don’t think I have ever seen a Shakespeare play in real life. Strattford sounds fun.
@@59cubanita I’m pleased to hear that you loved Alison too. High five! The Degas and Cassat bio is part of a series and I will definitely check out the rest. No live Shakespeare at all? Not even when you were in school? I didn’t see a live Shakespeare performance until I moved to the city for college. I will never forget my first: Hamlet. It has remained my favourite of Shakespeare’s ever since.
@@lindysmagpiereads No, I did not grow up in an English speaking country. I grewcup on a small island in the Caribbean that was part of the Dutch Kingdom ( Curaçao). So no English plays performed in the only theater on the island. Later on living in The Netherlands, again not something that is performed very often and definitely not in Dutch. So in the end never have seen a Shakespeare play in real life.
I have a dream now: to watch live theatre performance in open-air environment ❤ I have warm memories of going to the Russian theatre in Riga with my graunt, miss those days ❤
oh my gosh - a Tour de Force for Framed! in September again from yourself! Fabulous. Degas and Cassatt intrigues me. You would probably like an article in the current Times Literary Supplement, No. 6338 dated 20 September. On page 17, it has a review of the current display of graphic novels (it refers to them constantly as 'comic books') at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, until 4th November. And a review of the accompanying exhibition catalogue, "Bande Dessinée, 1964-2024 by Thierry Groensteen, Lucas Hureau, Anne Lemonnier and Emmanuèle Payen, Editors, printed by the Éditions Pompidous, 296 pages, Euros 45. "It is anchored in French and Belgian comic art, but gestures to the influences of American comics and Japanese manga over the same period." Apparently, they think the visual display is a little lifeless once you've segregated a graphic novel/comic page and put it in a vitrine - and the depiction of women is problematic. But the book may be worth a look as you probably read French.
@@heathergregg9975 Heather, you have sent me down a very pleasant internet rabbit hole, perusing the Pompidou’s online images of the exhibit. It features artists I’m familiar with (Sfar, Guibert, Meurisse, Ware, Blutch) and new ones too. I have placed a library hold on a book by Anna Sommer as a result. The question of removing pages from a graphic novel and putting them on a wall is interesting. I have seen a number of comics exhibits-and even a whole museum devoted to comics in Brussels-and I think well-chosen images stand on their own. I do read French but am unlikely to seek out the exhibition catalogue. I have read Groensteen’s System of Comics and highly recommend it to anyone interested in the fundamental elements of comics as an art form and reader engagement with its subtle workings.
What a fun holiday! How it All Ends and Art Club look like so much fun. Stratford looks lovely!
@@readandre-read Thanks Angelia! I’m in the boarding lounge in Toronto, soon to be on my way home.
@@lindysmagpiereads Safe travels!
I’m glad you had another fun Shakespeare experience. 💜
@@sreilly66 Hello Zan! Thanks for watching. I’m at the airport in Toronto now. 😊
I need to start reading graphic novels, I think I'd really enjoy this form, & these all sound fabulous - thanks for the spotlight!

@@lindysmagpiereads: ah, slow reading - love it. Thank you!
Adding to my TBR as always Lindy! Happy to say that I can get the last three on Hoopla.
@@LouiseReader Hi Louise! I forgot to mention that I found four of these on Hoopla and the other (Art Club) on Libby.
💛🎭
😍
Thanks for stopping by
