A Picture Tells a 1000 Words (14-16 years)

From painted hieroglyphics by the Ancient Egyptians to mystic tales of Chinese dynasties cast in bronze to modern day advertising—humans have used imagery in design and industry for centuries to share stories.

In this workshop you will join Will Rea, illustrator and muralist, who specialises in creating public artwork as well as painting signage on indoor and outdoor surfaces. Join Will as he shares some of the secrets of his work and leads you through a series of activities that will help you to create your own illustrated story.

This event is produced by Sheffield Museums.
