Ben Wood: Creating Characters for Stories

Session description:

Creating characters can be fun! Together students will learn how they can create characters for the stories they write! By using examples from his work, students get to create characters for their own picture books in exciting drawing workshops.

When creating characters for their own stories students learn to look at the importance of facial features, body pose, and character design. Students will look at different ways to come up with their own unique characters, and begin to build their own stories from these ideas.
