Art and mass entertainment and propaganda, they can all be plotted on the same graph, but there is a difference.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Art is more engaging that propaganda.
When producers want to know what the public wants, they graph it as curves. When they want to tell the public what to get, they say it in curves.
Entertainment is in art like color in pictures.
I think graphic novels are closer to prose than film, which is a really different form.
Illustrating is more about communicating specific ideas to a reader. Painting is more like pure science, more about the act of painting.
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Essentially and most simply put, plot is what the characters do to deal with the situation they are in. It is a logical sequence of events that grow from an initial incident that alters the status quo of the characters.
It's been noted that writing about the production of art is a masquerade or metaphor for writing about writing. This may be true, there are similarities - both the verbal and the visual represent the thing or the concept.
Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.
Plot and character are virtually the same thing.
