Consider the intersection of text and visual art and explore the basics of sketchnotes as you reflect on a creative hero and/or images that inspire your creativity. After looking at examples of artists who use text in their work, educators will create a zine and share, using this activity as a model for fostering community and discussion in our classrooms.
This event begins at 5pm at the Museum in Ketchum.
