Books Alive! Stroke the Story (Ages: 6–10)

Let’s change all stories in one fell swoop! Let’s transform them and chose the versions we like best!

We just need to cut, paste, and delete. This is, in fact, what American artist Paul Pfeiffer does. Did you know? He edits pictures of sports stars and other celebrities for awesome transformations. He cuts, moves, and pastes parts of photos and videos so that the resulting work is something completely new. We will follow in his footsteps, choosing between a prominent and an invisible role for ourselves in the tales we tell. In so doing, we will find out how a story can have many different versions, how it can be told in many different ways. Also, we will learn how to play with images, concealing some parts and highlighting others for the most amazing, unexpected effects. Come and join us in this workshop where creativity, imagination, and magic will reign supreme!
