Day two with the @illustration_institute 🖊️ O Day two with the @illustration_institute 🖊️ Our high school students got the incredible opportunity to work with Scott Nash and William Roth! They each shared their process for writing and illustrating. Their passion for art and storytelling was infectious. Our visual arts and writing students worked together to create stories and illustrations after learning about the process. (And collected a few autographs from their teachers).
