Share a visual story — your own, or one that inspires you!

ASSIGNMENT

It's your turn! Inspired by these interviews, create a visual story of your own. Your goal is to combine images and text in a way that communicates a narrative and point of view.

Think about what you'd like to say. Will you speak from a personal emotional experience like Adam J. Kurtz, or respond to a cultural narrative like Pam Butler? Will you start with a data set and questions like Giorgia Lupi, or will you turn an everyday phrase "on its head" like Paul Sahre?
When it comes time to construct your piece, be sure to check out Debbie's first class on Skillshare: The Art of the Story: Creating Visual Narratives. These lessons provide more examples, actionable tips, and demonstrations — and will inspire you to play with a wide range of materials and media. From pen and paper to getting creative with photos or chalk, you'll discover a whole new world.
If you'd like to participate but aren't yet sure about sharing your own work, share a visual story from an icon or artist you admire. Together, the class community can create a gallery of inspiration.

Getting creative with visual storytelling is a great way to express yourself, catch attention, and enhance your storytelling skills. Every story can be visualized — we can't wait to see what you create!
