| What | This Studio Card production is part of the Back of the Yards comic series, a Creative Commons project produced by Made Collaborative Studio, and features Carl Jung’s Archetypes of the Unconscious Mind. This Studio Card sets forth the 12 primary character archetypes which we hope help participating youth with their own creative projects and ideas. |
|---|---|
| When | These 12 character archetypes can be used by participating youth for their own independent collaborations, just as they have been used by others throughout the course of time, from the ancient Greek plays to modern day Star Wars trilogies. |
| Who | These character archetypes are important to understand because unlike character stereotypes, which are superficial generic generalizations, archetypes are said to have been deduced through the development of storytelling over tens of thousands of years, indicating repeating patterns of individual and group experience. |
| Why | Character Archetypes can help one gain a better understanding and development of literary characters and stories for not only our Made Collaborative comic publications, but also independent collaborations of any participating youth and others. |
With this Studio Card collaboration, we pick up where we left we off from Studio Card #2 (Create A Character Part I – Developing Basic Traits) and take a deeper dive into your character’s inner core. What drives your character? What are your character’s core beliefs? And what from their back story helped to shape those beliefs?
To help set the stage for this collaboration, we present you with a quick overview on the evolution of one of Marvel’s most popular comic characters, the Black Panther.
The Black Panther, of course, would evolve from his early comic origins in the year 1966 to his premiere on the movie big screen in 2018. But it all started with that foundation that was set by co-creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
And it is that very foundation that we are trying to help you develop for your own character. One primary tool that is helpful for this character development can be found with Carl Jung’s character archetypes. In short Carl Jung developed these archetypes as a way of capturing the essence of a person, i.e., that person’s character.
For example, the Black Panther can be described with a few of Carl Jung’s archetypes. He was a Hero archetype for all of his bravery and commitment to his cause and the people he represented and supported. He was also a Ruler at times, given his leadership roles. And he was a Mentor to others given his intelligence and integrity.
It is from that foundation that the Black Panther’s character was able to evolve over 5 decades. And to help you gain more understanding of these Character Archetypes and set the foundation for your own character development, we have provided a short Google Slide overview that goes into a little more depth of each of the primary character archetypes that we will refer to as part of our ongoing collaborations with you. [NOTE – CONSIDER TRANSFERRING THIS OVERVIEW FROM GOOGLE SLIDE TO ISSUU FLIPBOOK.]
