This monthly class takes a closer look at how big, timeless ideas, like growing up, finding your identity, making tough choices, and figuring out where you belong. Are told through graphic novels today. From superheroes to memoirs and historical stories, we’ll explore how this visual medium brings familiar themes to life in fresh, modern ways.
Through conversation, examples, and shared discussion, we’ll look at how art and storytelling work together to reflect personal experiences, culture, and the world around us. Titles like Maus, Persepolis, and other graphic novels may be used as touchstones, but the focus is on understanding how stories adapt and evolve through this format.
No prior experience with graphic novels is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to look at stories from a new angle.
