Course Description: This 8-week Storytelling and Bookmaking course will offer kids a chance to explore modes of storytelling through looking at, and then creating, illustrated books. The children will experiment in a pressure free environment, and learn that illustration is a fluid process that changes over time: our stories and characters evolve from what we learn and share together. The program includes making sketchbooks, group storytelling and reading, development of characters, puppet making, collaging, and making pop-ups, all towards the goal of finishing a book.

Instructor: Iona Fournier-Tombs is an artist and art education practitioner, with 2 years of experience working with children at the Westmount Visual Arts Centre. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Concordia University, and is presently looking towards a masters in Art Education.
