You've spent November crafting your story for National Novel Writing Month! Now it's time to illustrate your masterpiece! Larry will guide your student through the process of selecting scenes to illustrate, designing characters, and telling visual stories using a step by step method of teaching art. Students will learn about different illustrators and how and why they constructed their work.

Didn't participate in this year's NaNoWriMo Young Writer's Program? No problem. Bring along any story to illustrate! It could be one written by you or simply one that you enjoyed and think needs some illustrations to enhance it.
