After-School Art for Ages 8-12 – Session 3: “The Art of Storytelling“

@ SESSION (3 WEEKS • DECEMBER 2 – DECEMBER 16) Explore how illustrators and storytellers think, and discover how characters, pictures, and imagination can be used to tell stories! Students will learn the basics of visual storytelling through comic art, character design, collage, and bookmaking. Through playful storytelling exercises, we’ll create memorable characters, develop imaginative settings, and illustrate our own winter-themed stories. Young artists will learn how to design expressive characters, create imaginative settings, and use pictures to tell engaging stories. A student art reception will be held in December. Students will take home their collected works in the days following the event—and may choose to sell their artwork or simply share it with pride.
