The Comic Book Project, based on a highly successful model initiated in New York City by Dr. Michael Bitz, is a hands on art program targeted at low-income students (Elementary and Middle School) where students learn to improve their literary skills through story writing, and to develop artistic skills through drawing, while also developing social skills and community engagement.   It allows students to express themselves through visual story telling and illustration, teaching them how to work as a team and how to express themselves through art and writing, providing them with tools for dealing with issues in a positive way.
