Testimonial
Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions.
Description
Anyone can tell a story and creativity can come from many places. Professional comic book writer and artist Matthew Loux will discuss his personal journey from a cartoon and video-game loving kid to a professionally published graphic novelist. Learn how your favorite things can lead to discovering your own story and why comics are uniquely great at telling that story. In this performance, Matthew will discuss his personal creative journey and influences, how he actually makes a comic book story from start to finish and then lead an interactive live-drawing activity (character creation or story telling focused) that gets the imaginative process of storytelling started.
