Storytelling A/V

What makes a story great? What makes someone a good storyteller? Storytelling is something we all do naturally, starting at a young age, but there’s a difference between good storytelling and great storytelling. In this lesson you’ll hear from Pixar directors and story artists about how they got their start and what stories inspire them, and you’ll begin to think about what kinds of stories you might want to tell.

Now try and express your memory and emotion in some way. The goal is to get it out of your head.

1. Verbally: Tell your memory to someone that you know. Can you make them feel the emotion? (You can record just audio or a video and turn it in.)

2. Written: Write your memory in less than a page. Do the emotions come out in your words? (Spelling and grammar matter!)

3. Visually: Express your memory using only lines and shapes. Do the emotions come out in your drawings? (You can do this on paper and upload the photo.)
