Hieroglyphics v2.0: Writing Stories and Poems Using Symbols and Pictures
Taught by Chris Hiltz
Ages 9-12, 15 students
Friday, August 14, 2009 (one session): 6-7:30pm
Humans, since the dawn of time, have been writing stories using pictures as words. Cavemen and Egyptians used pictures to document their stories and events. Secret societies such as any He-man Girl Hater Tree House Club to the Illuminati used pictures and symbols as code to communicate with each other in secrecy. For centuries, engineers and mathematicians have used symbols and abbreviations as a way to express complex ideas and laws. Today, through the phenomenon of texting and IM-ing, kids and adults write with pictures and symbols every day to express their feelings and to communicate what they are doing.
In this workshop, you will learn how to write a meaningful and creative story or poem with the use of modern day symbols, emotioncons, and abbreviations.
Chris Hiltz is 826’s VoftheM for June. He can often be found LOLing, Jing, and hopes to meet you at this workshop asap.
