What is an image, and how do we create imagery and design to tell stories?  Led by award-winning projection designer and educator Wendall Harrington, this two-session, hands-on, workshop will help you better understand how we communicate with non-verbal symbols to express ideas and emotions in support of realistic and abstract narratives.

WE HAVE RECEIVED FUNDING TO MAKE THIS COURSE FREE. REQUIRED THAT YOU ATTEND BOTH SESSIONS. Donations are gratefully accepted.

Expected Learning Outcomes:  Upon successful completion of this course, the student will:

  • Discuss visual storytelling conceptually and practically with effective language and vocabulary.
  • Apply connections between historical periods of theatre, art, culture, and society to their visual storytelling.
  • Critically analyze graphic choices in design to communicate visual, conceptual, and emotional responses to an audience in support of the story, actor, the director, and the design team
  • Engage in the learnable process of imagining new possibilities for visual storytelling that involve risk-taking, use of multiple strategies, and reconceiving in response to feedback.
  • Engage in creative activity by conceiving and executing original visual storytelling work alone or as part of a team.
Price: FREE Session.
