How might we portray the essence of a story through visual art? How might we visually demonstrate the emotional response we have to stories that shape us? Students will take a story they love (from a book, movie, video game, etc) and make a piece of art that represents this story - may be a painting, collage, sculpture, photography series, music video, anything! Students will research the "essence" of their chosen story (a story they love), plan their visual product, and create their visual product.
