Grades: 4, 5, 6
Workshop length: 180 minutes
This workshop is designed for participants who want to learn how to produce their own stories into sketching/drawings.
Participants will work on recalling and visualizing different stories—be it folk tales from childhood or personal experiences. By the end of the session, each student will create a sequence of three drawings that tells their story. They will learn how to think visually, break down ideas, identify key moments, and express those moments through images.
