Character and Plot: Illustrating Stories with Author Lindsay Moore (Grades 6-12)

FREE for Members, $25 for Not-yet Members! Thanks to a grant from the Michigan Arts and Culture Council for our "Stories Told" program, we are able to provide this summer camp workshop for free to our members, a value of $165.

How does a picture book evolve from an idea to a published work? Where do you start? Join author-illustrator Lindsay Moore for a week-long picture book making workshop. Learn about storyboarding, character design, page composition and other effective tools used in visual storytelling to start you on your journey. Bring your own ideas, or borrow a story provided. Students will have the opportunity to storyboard their picture books in progress, build a creative community, and leave with an insider’s knowledge of children’s publishing and a plan for moving forward with their own unique projects.

Each student will receive a sketchbook, pencils, and drawing materials to keep after the workshop.
