Art is a tool that changes how children see themselves. Each young artist will name a problem, and then draw themselves as the hero that can fix it. To demonstrate, Gene will ask the class to pick a problem and for ideas about how that hero solves the problem.

Gene Ha is the writer and artist of the graphic novel 𝘔𝘢𝘦: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘌𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 from Oni Press. He has won five Eisners, the highest award in American comics, for his art on titles like 𝘞𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘢: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘰𝘯𝘴 with writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, and 𝘛𝘰𝘱 10 with writer Alan Moore. Gene lives outside Chicago with his lovely wife Lisa. Learn more: geneha.com
