Comic books are viewed as a simple hobby, but their enduring popularity suggests that they’re much more than that. Comic books have served as a way to imagine the world we want to live in, who we aspire to be, and how to solve our toughest societal problems. Thus, comic books have created a language through which to express the values we consider heroic and worth pursuing. Some of our most important heroes were created in response to global political turmoil, like World War II and the Vietnam War.
It is important to give children the tools with which to imagine alternative realities that they are in complete control of. The benefit of doing so in the present is that computational advances have enabled us to design in three dimensions, with unprecedented realism and control. Our instructors will have the opportunity to expose children to 3D modeling, algebra and geometry, computer programming, graphic design, literary analysis, narrative development, characterization, and story arcs.
