May 2008 Talking Points
These budding young artists and writers are learning about the power of pictures and the magic that happens when words and pictures work together to make their picture "come alive." This deepening of understanding about the relationship between words and pictures, and particularly about the power of strong verbs to make their picture appear to come to life, is part of the magic of artists/writers workshop.
