Inspired by the Wild: A Visual Storytelling Workshop, offered by author and illustrator, Lindsay Moore
How do you tell a story that matters? This workshop will focus on introducing some of the tools illustrators and graphic novelists use to bring clarity to a story, and capture the reader’s attention and heart. Drawing on inspiration from the natural world, students will have the opportunity to apply professional methods to their own work-in-progress pieces with a writing prompt provided in advance of the workshop, as well as follow-up material.
This free, 45 - minute workshop, offered as part of "Stories Told", a new community project presented by Crooked Tree Arts Center, Great Lakes Center for the Arts, Harbor Springs Festival of the Book, and Petoskey District Library, designed to help students "discover their voices," is available in schools from the following districts:
- Beaver Island Community School
- Boyne Falls Public School
- Inland Lakes School District
- Pellston Public Schools
- Cheboygan Area Schools
- Char-Em ISD
Lindsay will come to your classroom, and each teacher will receive a copy of Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud!
