Storyboarding, Translating Imagination onto Paper
Led by: Leah Lara
Where: Elastic Arts, 3429 W Diversey Ave #208, Chicago, IL 60647
When: Saturday, Feb. 28 @ 12pm - 2pm CT

Do you have an idea for a story? Any kind, any medium, any subject? Is it safely tucked in your imagination with a shaky release plan?  

Learn how to transcribe an abstract idea into an image, setting the foundation and a path forward. Make a visual language by you, for you , mapping out your story and imagined world with good old fashioned pencil and paper. Together, we will learn how to break down story elements into movement through space and time. All ages welcome, zero drawing proficiency or background needed! Bring all your story dreams.

Having an idea is hard. Explaining said idea, even harder. Use pictures instead.
