Join Philly Young Playwrights at Lovett Memorial Library for Visual Playwriting! This class celebrates drawing as a form of storytelling, guiding students through the process of creating a story from beginning to end using a blend of images and words. This program celebrates drawing as a form of storytelling, guiding students through the process of creating a story from beginning to end using a blend of images and words. Over the course of six classes, students will learn the different elements that make up a story (such as character, plot, and conflict), and different ways they can represent these elements using images to create a story of their own. While this program is great fit for visual learners or visual communicators, there is NO prerequisite for participating students to be artists. In fact, students will be encouraged to get ideas down on the page in clear, quick sketches which can range from single images of stick figures to drawing within storyboard panels to show the sequence of their story.

This is a completely free program for Philadelphia students in grades 3-6. Register here to join: https://www.phillyyoungplaywrights.org/classes.html
