🔍 2025-2026 REGISTRATION STATUS 🔍

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN AT NOON EST on JULY 1.

💥 THE GRAPHIC NOVEL EXPERIENCE 💥
Step into a universe where illustrations and words combine to create magic! Each week, we'll explore a different graphic novel, discovering how artists and writers collaborate to tell unforgettable stories.

Our unique dual-focus approach:

📖 FIRST HALF: STORY EXPEDITION
We'll dive into the narrative elements:

- Engaging characters and their development
- Plot twists and turning points
- Powerful themes and messages
- Setting and world-building
- Opening hooks and satisfying conclusions

🎨 SECOND HALF: ARTISTIC EXPLORATION
We'll analyze the visual storytelling techniques:

- Panel layouts and their impact on pacing
- Art styles and how they enhance the story
- Creative speech bubbles and sound effects
- Font choices and their emotional impact
- Color palettes and visual symbolism

🗣️ OUR DISCUSSION STYLE 🗣️
Our relaxed, roundtable discussions ensure every voice is heard! I'll guide conversations while creating a comfortable atmosphere where students can:

💬 Express unique perspectives and insights
✨ Support opinions with evidence from the text and art
👂 Listen respectfully to different viewpoints
💪 Build confidence in literary and artistic analysis
😊 Connect with fellow graphic novel enthusiasts!

The best part? You can join anytime! Each week is a new adventure with no prior attendance required.
