Fabulous Secrets 03 - Resequencing a Story - Lean Into Art - Art Center for Visual Storytellers

Top

You are dedicated to your craft. You have spent countless hours honing your skills. You have a boundless curiosity for the underlying theories and structure of communicating ideas. You are the artist who finds the connections between your medium and other communications media. You are the artist who relishes in a setback; after all, it's a new opportunity to learn and grow. Inspiration is more than a haphazard mode of thought requiring constant nurturing: it is your natural state of mind.

Lean Into Art is where you go when you're ready to push yourself as an artist in new ways. As a place to learn communication arts online it combines an art-journaling approach, the best of live and time-shifted classes, and a recognition system that encourages students to finish projects, give feedback, even participate in teaching.

It's a big art challenge - that's why we put the enticing warning in the name. You have to lean into it.

Fabulous Secrets 03 - Resequencing a Story

Friday, August 19, 2011 at 5:31PM

Inspired by an activity I read about on the Drawing Words, Writing Pictures blog, I recently test-ran a new lesson in my classroom that turned out to be a lot of fun for the students. I had them draw a sequence of events on some 3x5" index cards and evaluate how the story tone changed when we changed the sequence of events.

You can download a PDF of the lesson plan to try it out yourself!
