Project 4- Artist Statement

Morality is something that everyone is familiar with, whether they have any or not. We all learn them at a young age and carry them with us throughout our lives. But where do we learn morals? Is it society, philosophy, religion, or the individual self that constructs these sets of morals? It could be any of them! Many people would say that morality was taught when they were children at a young age. Comic books are relatable to both adults and children. Adults now, grew up with Batman, Superman, and Spiderman comics. Children today still read those along with any of the newer ones that made their way into comic book stands. What do all comic book storylines have in common? There is always a hero and always a villain, a god guy and a bad guy, and “right and wrong” dilemmas where “right” always comes out on top.
