Tell A Story: Sketch A Horse (Part II)

Three free sessions of horse-themed programs will take place at 10:30-noon, 1:00-2:30, and 3:00-4:30. Led by master artist Kim Eslinger, the sessions are designed for a mixed-aged audiences of adults and children with chaperones. Each is designed as a stand-alone program, but will include elements that can be built upon by attending successive sessions. Drawing materials will be provided. This session will center on telling stories with horse pictures and include a reading of “The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses” by Paul Goble, followed by a facilitated comparison of Goble’s illustrations to horses depicted on winter counts. Participants will then create their own horse picture story, using cut out horse shapes to trace around and fill in the details that will help to tell their story. This project is supported in part by a grant from the North Dakota Council on the Arts, which receives funding from the state legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
