Talking about drawing as a form of art in our last class got me thinking back to our original question when starting this class, What constitutes art? Can illustrating for things likes comics or movies or TV shows be considered art?
The question of purpose comes into play here. Because the reason for drawing these figures is commonly to compliment a plot. what is often missed when thinking about illustrations though is how much they in fact can mean to their respective plots.
While many comics focus on the text as a way to facilitate their humor many of these comics give us iconic images much like the one shown here of Carlie Brown.
Many of these comics' illustrations can be considered art in my opinion as it is a practice often related with art (drawing) along with a meaning associated, even if that meaning is just an attempt to make its audience laugh.
