Storytelling Through Art

Illustration is probably the oldest form of Storytelling; from the Cave men drawings to the ancient Egypt it tells stories of our history all over the world.

When listening to a story we rely on the words, and our imagination fills in the gaps, with illustrations not only is the story more entertaining but it engages with the audience and helps create the mood and tone of the story.

With the use of the illustrations being projected within the room with moving images and sound effects, this is a modern way of Storytelling. Not only is the audience listening to the story, they are experiencing it, as though they are within the story themselves. 

I am passionate about storytelling being inclusive; bringing stories to people using a range of skills such as illustrations, sound, and words will reach a wider range of people and also create a more experiential storytelling experience which will be more memorable.
