Visual Storytelling with Ceci Norman

Join artist Ceci Norman for a workshop on visual storytelling. This playful hands-on workshop will lead you in an exploration of how we use visuals to tell stories.

There will be an opportunity to create a collage, a one-page zine, or stop motion animation (with your phone!). By playing with images, you can supplement your written story, give you a practice to work through an idea if you're feeling stuck, and play with how images can help us express mood, concepts, and characters.

Supplies included: magazines, markers, glue sticks, construction paper.
