SUMMARY:Art & Storytime @ the ARTfactory
DESCRIPTION:The art of storytelling is thousands of years old. Histories or morals\, each story that has existed puts pictures in the mind. Visual artists become illustrators of the world through the storytelling of their own mental images instead of words. \nIn this class on August 22\, 2026\, students will listen to a story to inspire them to create an artwork based on their own impressions of the story. Students will create a 3D collage inspired by a scene from the story. \nPre-registration required (link below).
