📚✏️ Welcome our newest Teaching Artist, Matthew Loux!

Matthew is a professional comic book writer, artist, and educator who helps students discover that their own ideas, interests, and imaginations can become stories.

Through his programs, students can explore the art of comic making, create original characters, learn how comics move from idea to finished page, and dive into the history and visual language of manga. His workshops combine storytelling, drawing, creativity, and hands-on participation in ways that make students excited to create.

We’re thrilled to welcome Matthew to the Arts for Learning Connecticut Teaching Artist roster and can’t wait to see what Connecticut students create with him! 🎨💥
