Story World Studio program overview

About the Program

Story World Studio is a hands-on creative experience where imagination takes shape. Children begin by imagining and illustrating an original character, then design and build the world that character lives in — a forest, an ocean, a galaxy or somewhere entirely their own.

Working with paper art, colour, texture and mixed media, children layer scenery, add dimensional details and assemble a three-dimensional story world they can hold. Each child gives their creation a title and signs it as the artist, taking home a one-of-a-kind piece they are proud of.

The experience is process-based rather than result-based: there is no single correct outcome. Children make artistic decisions, solve visual problems, and discover their own style and voice along the way.
