Art Colleges & The Topic Of Drawing Styles

By Bob Oliver


I do not think that anyone can overlook the fact that art schools are amongst the most versatile institutions. They are ones which are able to teach students about a number of different styles, whether it's related to drawing or what have you. With this in mind, I'd like to focus on manga and the influence that it can have. This isn't just in relation to school, either, as it can have an influence on just about anyone who has even a passing interest in graphic novels and the like.

Even though realism is a particular aspect that is often integrated into art, sometimes reality shouldn't be replicated. Manga seems to hinge on this factor, at least to some degree, and this is partially why manga itself is such a niche category in drawing. Manga derives from the Japanese style of comics, which has been able to find quite a strong audience in the West. Even though "niche" is perhaps the strongest term associated with manga, attention should still be given to it.

That being said, what about surrealism, which many can claim to be the opposite of realism? Those who teach within art schools can attest to the idea that this style takes much more imagination in order to perfect, as the scenarios replicated on any canvas are more detached from reality. They may be more whimsical and lighthearted while others might be represented as grittier by comparison. In both scenarios, a certain sense of wonder should be set in place during the creation process.

As stated earlier, manga has been able to develop in terms of popularity over the course of the past few decades. I believe its true popularity stemmed from earlier works like "Dragon Ball" until it began to snowball from that point forward. Nowadays, there's a broad audience that desires anime - and manga, by extension - and there is so much material that can be looked into. It's not hard to see why, especially when you consider that manga's popularity shows no signs of slowing down.

What about the sorts of manga that seem to be made for both Japanese and American audiences? I'd like to think that this is where stories along the lines of "Scott Pilgrim" can come into effect. It became such a notable name that it became its own movie in the West, starring Michael Cera. Regardless of the feelings associated with the "Scott Pilgrim" movie, I'd like to think of it as an example of how much manga has grown and why it is that so many art students have taken an interest in it.
