Many Ways to Tell a Story (Part 1)
Unfolding stories with drawings, illustrations, mixed media and 3D.
Develop visual story telling tools to interpret personal stories, creative writing, poems, myths or folktales. Inspired by picture and artists’ books, illustrated diaries and Eastern European animations, you will learn how to:
- generate ideas through mood and story boards
- create a sequence of images
- design characters
- combine images and text into handmade books or 2D and 3D outcomes
Part 1 of the course invites you to unleash your creativity and explore storytelling through art. You’ll dive into a variety of techniques (drawing, painting, collage, textiles, and 3D) designed to spark ideas and inspire new ways of expressing your narrative. These tools will prepare you for a deeper exploration in Part 2.
Perfect for all skill levels, including beginners, this course is ideal for anyone curious about illustration or storytelling through Fine Art. Returning students can also use studio time to develop personal projects.

Basic art materials will be provided. As the course and ideas unfold, students may want to use their own materials. Dagmara will advise on this during the course.
Dagmara Rudkin is a Phoenix-based Polish-British fine artist who creates paintings, drawings, collages and 3D mixed media work using predominantly discarded materials and objects to re-tell stories of real and imagined people, places and their relationships. Over the past 20 years, she has produced personal and collaborative projects with poets, theatre professionals, and film-makers, worked as an artist-in-residence, and held exhibitions in the South East. Currently, she specializes in shroud making for green and traditional burials, utilizing the emotive power of storytelling through textiles to honour rites of passage and commemorate the sacred.
Dagmara holds a Joint Honours degree in Painting and Glass, an MA in Sequential Design and Illustration, and a PGCE in Art and Design. She works as an artist educator at Hastings Contemporary and as an Associate Lecturer at Greater Brighton Metropolitan College. Alongside photographer and film-maker Wendy Pye, she offers community and well-being arts projects and workshops through their art organization, Luna Arts. Luna Arts – Luna Arts
