  1. Creating an Illustrated Story • Main Ingredients: Take notes on scratch paper about: • Who are your Character(s)? • What kind of conflict does the hero face? • How does the hero overcome the conflict or learn from it? • Create a “Story Board” of the Scenes • What happens first, second, etc. • Decide how to use Dialogue, Illustration, & Description

  2. Main ingredients • Characters: create your characters from memorable people in your life. • Conflict: Is it between a character and her/his environment? Between two characters? You decide! This is the drama of your story… • Power or knowledge needed to overcome the conflict: Does the character need to learn something to overcome obstacles? Does she or he need get the help of others? Does she or he need tools? It depends on the conflict…

  3. Try This • Here’s an overview of a story: a girl with really orange hair is sad because she feels that her schoolmates don’t like her. She feels unpopular. Then she meets someone whose even more unpopular: Big Foot! He’s a monster! He talks to her. He tells her popularity isn’t important. He shows a “I don’t care” dance. The next day, some people are rude to her and she does the dance! • Create a storyboard of this story: divide it into scenes. • Then, decide how you’re going to tell the story: when you’re going to use dialogue, or just illustration, or description.

  4. Storyboard of the Scenes

  5. Illustration, Dialogue or Description? • Some of your story can be written descriptions of the setting or what happens inside a character’s head. • Some of your story can be dialogue between characters. • Some of your story can be illustrations of what’s happening or how a person feels. • You can use all three!

  6. Illustration/ Dialogue / Description

  7. To illustrate YOUR story… • Decide what kind of art you’re going to use: • Cut-outs (like you did with the bird attack) • Collage (like you did with the face) • Drawing/Painting

  8. Play Around! Don’t be afraid to make mistakes! Allow accidents to happen (and if you like them, keep the idea!)
