Ringling College Student Literacy Outreach

SRQ DAILY

SATURDAY FEB 18, 2017 |

Students from Ringling College of Art and Design’s Writing Picture Books class have been visiting area schools and programs including Children First to help remind the young adults what it was like to be a little kid and to better inform their attempts to entertain and educate children through their art. The class will visit Children First and a local elementary school several times over the course of the semester as well as local bookstores and libraries. Instructor Sylvia Whitman, who is part of the new Creative Writing program at Ringling College, believes the interaction with kids helps to inform the voice and expression of her students, and fosters empathy for the struggles of children who may be coming from a very different experience than what the students may ever have known.
