The Visual Path

Change the way you tell stories — through visual marks, symbols, and imagination.

Taught by Kasia Avery

What if every journal page could tell a story full of characters, mystery, and imagination?

In this two-part lesson, Kasia shows you how to translate a story into your art through visual marks and symbols. You'll learn where to find pictures that tell your story, how to choose your characters, and how to get lost in your imagination while creating a richly layered journal spread.

Creating stories can change the way you see the world — it helps with on-the-spot creativity, engagement with children, and seeing everything around you as full of characters, each in their own stories. Let's open up this world together.
