Beyond Tights & Capes: Using Pop Culture to Engage Students in the Arts

Presented by: Dr. Katie Monnin and Adam Kullberg, Pop Culture Classroom

From comics to cosplay to board games, pop culture literacies offer students and teachers countless ways to stimulate literacy and artistic skills. Join local nonprofit Pop Culture Classroom, the brains behind Denver Comic Con, in this workshop to learn about how we utilize pop culture as a tool to inspire a love of learning, increase literacy, celebrate diversity, and build community through the Arts. Presenters Dr. Katie Monnin and Adam Kullberg, MFA will lead attendees through hands-on exercises and discussions about building a diverse, representative graphic novel collection for a diverse array of arts-based educational settings. Attendees will walk away with a host of pop culture-based strategies and resources that they can modify and adapt to their classrooms and communities.
