Drawing Her-Story

Program Blurb: Learn about the art of illustration by studying the works of diverse female illustrators and make an art project to take home


What we did: We focused on female illustrators who use collage as their illustration method.  We selected four illustrators to highlight: Melissa Sweet, Oge Mora, Vanessa Brantley-Newton, and Julie Flett.


How it went: We had 16 participants and they all created amazing collages!
