Hangyeol, 10
Hangyeol discovered that behind every comic book is a storyteller with a vision. At Realisticus, this shy artist found his creative voice, gradually transforming from hesitant beginner to confident creator as his dream of making comics took colourful shape on paper.
Each week he arrived with his older brother, finding courage in this new environment. Over ten sessions of Realisticus Art Academy’s youth program, his teacher witnessed a remarkable change - from uncertain brush strokes to bold experimentation with watercolours, from quiet observation to active collaboration with classmates.
As Hangyeol added unexpected creative twists to assignments and shared more of his comic book ideas, his journey revealed how the right creative environment can help children develop not just artistic skills, but also the self-assurance to express their unique voice.
“Hangyeol’s enthusiasm, dedication, and willingness to explore new techniques
have made him a delightful and inspiring presence in class.”
