Illustration isn’t just drawing, it’s telling a story through pictures. In this workshop, we will approach storytelling basics from the perspective of picture making and symbols. Find the seeds of tales you want to tell and the visual metaphors you need to tell them. If you’re an illustrator intimidated by storytelling and looking for a place to start, or maybe you are just looking for a fresh perspective on story, this is for you!
In a one-on-one conversation, renowned illustrators Elizabeth Haidle and Andy J. Pizza talk about the importance of art in the age of AI and why we humans need to keep making it, no matter what.
