Or you may use some of the general discussion questions below to develop topics for your group.

Artful Illustrator
Name Meeting Date
Case Study Title Assignment - P to P
Your job as Illustrator is to note the page number from where you get your inspiration, then draw and colour a DETAILED Picture of an important selection from the case study. Make your illustration on another sheet of paper and attach it to this one before handing in this assignment.
Presentation Plan: Show your illustration without comment to others in the group. One at a time, they get to speculate what your picture means, to connect the drawing to their own ideas about the case study. After everyone has had a say, you get the last word: tell them what your picture means, where it came from, or what it represents to you.
Comments to share with your group (reasons why you drew that illustration, what it means to you, what part of the story it represents, etc.)
