Storytelling and artmaking are foundational skills for communicating ideas. In this video, the children imagine themselves as artists representing future settings and roles - dreaming of potential careers and their personal aspirations. Their art will visualize a future setting and a "grown-up" role. They realize that anyone who creates or responds to art is a storyteller. All it takes is imagination - a thinking skill that makes people future ready.
