Westtown Middle School and the Westtown Arts Department welcomed Marek Bennett to campus as our 2024 Visiting Artist. Marek worked with our students on the fundamentals of creating comics and graphic novels and guided them as they created three-panel comics inspired by our Quaker values. Marek opened his visit with an assembly, where he shared details of his own work and began a sketch of the Meeting House inspired by feedback given by students. All students participated in Marek’s workshops. His visit concluded back in the Meeting House where he shared student work and the completed sketch of the Meetinghouse. Our thanks to art teachers Marta Willgoose Salo and Cindy Hodgson, as well asAlex Ates and the entire Arts Department for making this experience possible for our Middle School students!
