Stories Alive

Ages: 10-14
Hours:9:00 am - 3:00 pm | price $380Leader: Lora Worden | email: loraword@gmail.com

Where do ideas come from? How do we turn an idea in our mind into something people can hold in their hands and read? How do we know if the idea in our mind would be best as a poem, a story, an essay, a comic, or a story that is told instead of written? How might words and images work together to tell a story? Or even words and music? Can movement help get our creative juices flowing? Come explore these questions and more as we delve into writing, explore different genres, dabble with art, learn about the publishing and book-making process, and gain inspiration from other writers and artists, as well as the world around us.
