[April 9, 2025 | 7pm ET] Fan art—unofficial drawings and other renderings of famous characters—is often the bane of the middle and high school art educators’ existence. Join us as we explore the potential benefits of fan art to adolescent development, self-identity, social sharing, and artistic skill development. Presenter Marjorie Cohee Manifold shares, “A study reveals how young people from nineteen countries have begun to manipulate media conveyed narratives of popular culture in ways that may be construed as culture creation. Through intense engagements as fans of commercially produced images and stories, adolescents and young adults may craft fanart illustrations as images of self. As they learn art making within the global fandom, or Internet-connected community of like-interested fans and fanartists, these young people enact relationships to the subject and process of fanart making, fellow fanartists and the fan community that are not unlike those of the medieval European craftsman to his craft, guild workshop, and community.”
