Connecting Pictures & Emotions

  • AIMS Center 1595 S Chestnut Ave Fresno United States (map)

Join us for a captivating hybrid experience that delves into the fascinating world of visual storytelling! In this Playshop inspired by Molly Bang’s book, “Picture This,” participants will embark on a hands-on exploration of the impact of picture structure on our emotional responses.

Throughout the Playshop, participants will be introduced to the nine principles of picture structure commonly employed in story illustrations. Through engaging discussions and insightful examples, we will unravel the secrets behind the visual elements that seamlessly connect a narrative with its imagery.

This interactive session goes beyond theory – participants will have the unique opportunity to apply these principles to their own visual narratives. Whether you’re a seasoned art enthusiast or simply someone who loves picture books, this Playshop is designed for everyone and requires no prior artistic expertise.

Don’t miss this chance to explore how the elements of artwork can evoke emotions and tell compelling stories. Join us in this hybrid Playshop and let your creativity flow!
