“Visual Voyage”: Storytelling through Storyboard and Costume Illustration

Overview:

Join us at the Triton Museum for our Fall Afterschool Camp with artist Mei-Ying Dell’Aquila and the practice of storytelling. In this camp, students will embark on a journey of blending their imagination with the art of storyboarding and costume illustration.

Students will:

● Learn the process of crafting narratives into a visual manner.
