Will Hart

Will Hart is a longtime comic artist and lover, working mainly in simple pencil and paper. He endeavors to make comics accessible to everyone, especially those who have been underrepresented in and excluded from the publishing industry at large. His approach to classroom learning is heavily influenced by process pedagogy and the anti-hierarchical Modern School. Students 13 and older who want to experiment and play with a variety of multi-media and multi-genre exercises (as opposed to students who are looking to polish an an existing work or to refine their craft in a particular genre) would enjoy his class. For his undergraduate thesis at Taylor University he completed a multi-genre comic titled Dies Cinerum. He presented it at the Making Literature Undergraduate Conference, where he won the Kimberly Ruth Irvine Prize for Creative Writing. He also completed Syzygy, a tryptic of fiction comics for his graduate thesis at Hamline University.
