“WHAT’S YOUR STORY, PEOPLE?”
By Erika Snow Robinson
Author/artist Brian Andreas, creator of Story people is the inspiration for this whimsical project in which children will create an ink drawing without the use of their eyes. Then, when they meet their creation, they will bring it to life with color and write a little story to go along.
Based on the unique and creative musings of artist and storyteller, Brian Andreas, students will blind contour draw with a quill feather and india ink - then use oil pastels, and a “brush pen” to “tell their story” and create their own Story People
