Norris Hall was built in 1858 and once served as a respected home for elderly widows and unmarried women. Designed in Greek Revival style, it has an enclosed garden and numerous fireplaces, which serve as an inspiring backdrop for sequential art students. The sequential art program stresses visual storytelling, as well as regular drawing skills, encouraging students to perfect the process of combining words and pictures to form an entertaining and effective narrative. Students who complete the sequential art degree find successful careers as Webcomic artists, storyboard animators, graphic novel creators, illustrators, editorial cartoonists, concept illustrators and video game designers.

Sequential students at Norris Hall learn to perfect their visual narratives both digitally and by hand.

Sequential art students develop their life drawing skills in observation rooms and outside of the classroom.

Each classroom is equipped with multimedia presentation equipment, such as digital projectors and Cintiq stations.

Students in the sequential art program develop their drawing skills before moving onto technological tools.

The sequential arts program enrolls nearly 400 students a year, yet students benefit from individual professor guidance.

Norris Hall is equipped with two dedicated computer labs and Cintiq monitors for student use.

Students develop their maquette-making skills, and completed maquettes are often displayed throughout the building.

Some students in the sequential art program create more than 100 drawings a week.

Students create and display maquettes, miniature character models, throughout Norris Hall.
