For the past decade, artist and educator Chip Sullivan has been exploring the medium of the graphic novel as a teaching tool, finding the integration of word and image a powerful tool to communicate the transformative powers of landscape observation. His research evolved into a series of comics for Landscape Architecture magazine titled “Creative Learning.” His current work in this area continues to develop the language of the comic as a means to elevate one’s environmental awareness. His latest book “Cartooning the Landscape” is to be published by University of Virginia Press and will be launched the coming May.
