For this Wiki, I would like to introduce you to a website called [|Storybird]. The purpose of this activity is to encourage and excite children to create stories and illustration. When making a Storybird you may select different themes and artistic styles to tell a story. Storybird provides wonderfully descriptive images, that encourage and prompt students to write. For use in my art classroom, students would create an online story using Storybird to inspire their creativity. Following this activity I would have students create a new story book similar to, or different from their online story, except this time student create their own illustrations. This would accompany other lessons with in a unit on illustrations.
