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.
