This program celebrates drawing as a form of storytelling, guiding students through the process of creating a story from beginning to end using a blend of images and words. Over the course of these classes, students will learn the different elements that make up a story (such as character, plot, and conflict), and different ways they can represent these elements using images to create a story of their own. While this program is great fit for visual learners or visual communicators, there is NO prerequisite for participating students to be artists. In fact, students will be encouraged to get ideas down on the page in clear, quick sketches which can range from single images of stick figures to drawing within storyboard panels to show the sequence of their story.

This Visual Playwriting session will run from February 25 through May 13, 4:00-5:30 PM,in the Community Room.  This program is designed for ages 10 - 18, and will be led by Philadelphia Youth Playwrights.
