Having experienced the use of graphic novels as an access point into contemporary art I felt it was thoroughly enjoyable and a great way to include visual culture as a form of art. I also understand how it is contemporary as in current and is becoming a wider accepted and wider read form of literature. But as a connection point for students to access contemporary art (much of which is highly conceptual) graphic novels seems vague. Perhaps more background into the artists themselves and their own motivations and creative processes will make this clearer. I think the most valuable use of graphic novels is as a means to include current visual culture that is engaging, interdisciplinary, and aesthetically productive.
