Pinocchio: An Alternative Origin Story Exploring the Grandest Questions of Existence. “Myths are made for the imagination to breathe life into them,” Albert Camus wrote. Ada Lovelace, the world’s first computer programmer, observed a century earlier as she contemplated the nature of the imagination and its three core faculties: “Imagination is the Discovering Faculty, pre-eminently… that which penetrates into the unseen worlds around us.” This “discovering faculty” of the imagination, which breathes life into both the most captivating myths and the deepest layers of reality, is what animated Italian artist Alessandro Sanna one winter afternoon when he glimpsed a most unusual tree branch from the window of a moving train — a branch that looked like a sensitive human silhouette, mid-fall or mid-embrace.
As Sanna cradled the enchanting image in his mind and began sketching it, he realized that something about the “body language” of the branch reminded him of a small, delicate, terminally ill child he’d gotten to know during his visits to Turin’s Pediatric Hospital. #OpenComics: untold stories – share your comics and graphic art. Sometimes the most powerful stories demand to be told creatively. Graphic storytelling is increasingly being used to convey emotion, surprise audiences and sometimes, to protect people’s identities. This was the case for Abike’s story, a comic produced for the Guardian to tell the true story of a Nigerian woman trafficked to the UK for sexual exploitation.
The graphic story was produced by Benjamin Dix, founder of literary comic agency PositiveNegatives, and illustrated by artist Gabi Frödén. Dix says telling Abike’s story in graphic form helped bring the unimaginable to life: “Abike’s story is one of the darkest and most chilling testimonies that I’ve heard. Now we want to see your work. Sacco explains why he got involved the #OpenComics project. We’re looking for interesting untold stories from around the world. You don’t have to be a professional; it’s the story that matters.

Each Owl I create has a story behind its feathers and its own unique personality. Some of them represent famous people, others reflect moods and emotions.
I’ve decided to tell their stories here one by one to get you to know them better. Maybe you will see yourself in one of them some day.

She is one of the first Owls I’ve ever created and the one I have framed and put on my wall. When I think of Frida Kahlo I see her bold unibrow and mustache, fiery temperament, headband made of bright flowers, full body cast she painted to occupy her long recovery time, a playful little monkey sitting on her shoulder, an ocean of pain and mad love with the man who was one of the biggest joys and tragedies of her life.
Art That Tells a Story | The Arts | Interactive. Telling Personal Stories Through Art | English (ELA) | Lesson Plan. In this lesson, students explore the connection between art and storytelling, focusing on how art can serve as an empowering, self-actualizing and even cathartic form of self-expression. The video clips provided in this lesson are from Cutie and the Boxer, an Academy Award®-nominated film about the chaotic and unconventional 40-year love affair and creative partnership between action painter Ushio Shinohara and his wife, Noriko, also an artist.
Ushio, who punches canvases with paint-laden gloves, is famous in Japan and in Manhattan's art circles, yet wider recognition has eluded him. Noriko, 21 years his junior, put her artistic ambitions on hold to be a wife and mother--and an assistant to her demanding husband. Now, Noriko's acclaimed "Cutie" series of drawings, depicting the relationship between the title character and a volatile figure named Bullie, is turning their world upside down.
