A picture can tell you a lot about a person.
But it’s the writer who discovers who that
person is and how they fit into a story. Using
photographs and pictures, participants will
create characters and invent unique and vibrant
stories. Participants will be encouraged to
develop scenes and scenarios into short,
character-driven stories.
Illuminated Letters (Grades: 5 - 12/sec V)
Beginning by writing simple poems based on
their own names, students are then shown how
to draw Versal letters in the style of 15th
