Overview
Art & Literacy is now ART/LIT, an art club for teens that explores connections between visual art and language
With guidance from illustrator and storyteller Jessica Harkey, middle and high school students (ages 12-17) can use a variety of materials to create pocket-sized books—ideal for short comics, stories, or poems—and leave with their own handmade books and the skills to create more on their own.
JESSICA ROBIN HARKEY
Jessica Harkey is an illustrator of children’s picture books and an Artist Instructor at Sawtooth School for Visual Art. She is a firm believer in all things mythical, magical, and make-believe, from which she draws creative inspiration. Jessica fills each of her illustrations with as much whimsy, humor, and detail as possible so young readers can discover as many stories as they like. She hopes her work resonates with curious kids as well as kids at heart.
ART/LIT
Students ages 12-17 are invited to explore the intersection of visual arts and literature at ART/LIT, an art club for teens that meets monthly for hands-on workshops led by working artists at local library branches. Workshops are open to all skill levels and encourage curiosity, creativity, and connection through art. ART/LIT is presented in partnership with Forsyth County Public Library. All materials are provided. Registration is required.
