Pop Culture Career Exploration
Description
Encourage your students to pursue careers creating the things that they love!
Your class will be joined by working artists who have professional experience with art, comics, games, and entrepreneurship. They'll discuss their own career paths, then highlight different ways for students to grow their skills and pursue careers in Pop Culture.
For longer workshops, students will get experience thinking like a professional artist, designing fictional worlds and the environments, people, and objects that inhabit them. (Requires an additional 1.5 hours).
