9th Grade Visual Narrative Every Picture Tells a Story This class explored the ways artists and writers tell stories. Students were encouraged to develop a personal voice and style while employing a variety of drawing and painting techniques to create visual narratives related to the novels they were reading in their English Language Learning classes. Connecting the themes of the novels they read to the work of artists with their own life experiences, students explored issues of identity, point of view, and trauma in their works. We applaud their bravery and honesty.
