Diario de supervivencia ASAB

Abstract

Asab Survival Diary allows the viewer to show the author's dissatisfaction (along with the majority of students and teachers) regarding the Plastic and Visual Arts curricular project of the ASAB arts faculty, all through the narrative language of the comic. I used the comic book narrative because it allows me to extract its ability to influence and express ideas, as well as its artistic possibilities closely linked to my tastes and abilities: drawing, illustration and writing. Disagreements go through dislikes, bad situations, disappointments, visions towards the visual and fine arts, until we get to analyze how the ASAB changes us, either positively or negatively. The language that I use is a common language, free from technicalities and elaborate words, with this I seek to maintain the feeling of a casual narration, of someone who immersed himself in his memories and captured them on paper. Adding that this project is not a scientific study, rather it is anecdotal evidence with which I will develop a problem that may well refer to privacy, memory or social criticism. With these elements I tried to give voice to situations that many of us live when studying Plastic and Visual Arts at Asab, generating a narrative that shows what it is to give 5 years of life to that place. I hope it will be a narrative that manages to entertain and generate reflection in both the newest and those who have already left there, hoping to have an impact like the one that the comic "Art School Confidential" by Daniel Clowes had on the walls of his art faculty or the entertaining narratives of Harvey Pekar in his popular American splendor. The project was developed in a traditional two-dimensional format, using different drawing and painting techniques on the webcomic platform: Webtoon.
