“…The author of this article even found one academic article in the field of literature studies that analysed text as image phenomena in the comic book medium (see Pekūnas, 2019) that referenced comics as a genre. However, the most interesting part of the latter example is that it is quoting the article that argues that the comics book medium cannot flourish while it is perceived as a genre that is targeted only to an audience of children (see Mitkus, 2013). Thus, it is safe to say that the comic medium has a big public relations problem.…”

“…Interestingly, today, comics -as a product of modern mass media culture -are experiencing a new golden age, but unlike at the beginning of the 20th century not because of quantity, but because of quality (Mitkus, 2013;Mitkus & Nedzinskaitė-Mitkė, 2018;Terror, 2018;CBR Staff, 2016;Mitchell, 2014). With the rise of mature topics in comic books there is a hope that this damaging misconception will fade away, or at the very least, will not be as challenging for more mature comic topics.…”

Comics are an indisputable part of popular culture. But compared to any other audiovisual media products, the production of this form of entertainment is relatively cheap. Thus, on this fact alone comic book artform could be used to fill the demand for local historical genre in popular culture and, in turn, to contribute significantly to the formation of a modern national identity among the youngest generations of the country. However, that is not the only or even the best superpower of the medium when it comes to production of fictional historical epics for entertainment purposes. In this article, the author explores comic medium’s creative aspects that could be used to effectively communicate the various visual aspects of the past. Findings suggest that the most important visual medium’s communicative tool that creates a unique and immersive experience is stylisation, in tandem with spatial and temporal systems. Additionally, the author discusses the challenges and opportunities for comic media to emerge in an educational context.

“…traditional forms of teaching (lectures, seminars) orient students primarily to reproduce what they have heard. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the specificity of thinking of today's youth (clip-like, file, visual thinking), which is immersed into a special communication space that transforms their thinking abilities and ways of handling (processing) information (mcluhan 1994;mitkus 2013;Frumkin 2010;Rosen 2007).…”

“…Second, the representatives of all classes could be creative. Beside this, we can speak about creative education(Mitkus 2013;Juzefovič 2015) that covers all subjects including technical ones.3Caves (2002) defines the principle "nobody knows" in two ways: 1) nobody knows if a creative product will have request; 2) the author does not know about his or her future creative product.…”

In first part, the models, theories, mechanisms and presumptions, as well as the ideas of educational choice' discourse have been scrutinized. In the second part, the survey on educational choice at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Lithuania has been presented. The methodology used in this research is a survey of respondents and survey interpretation. The goal of questionnaire is to identify the main trends in the choice of studies at a technical university. An additional goal is to identify which educational choice theory reflects in the best way students' real decisions when choosing a specific study program. The survey shows that the following study programmes are enough feminine: "Environmental Protection Engineering", "Bioengineering" and "Biomechanics". Nearly 80 per cent of students in those programs are females. "Electronics Engineering", "Information Systems Engineering" and "Transport Engineering" tends to be fully masculine (90-100 per cent of students are males). A technical university deals with such masculine subjects as technology, engineering, and mathematics usually have been mostly chosen by the mails. Choosing a study programme, the decision depends on the social class of a young man (woman). We can speak also about such factors of educational choice as the social, the cultural, and the creative capitals.
