Create and tell your own story through art. Explore Once Upon a Tapestry: Woven Tales of Helen and Dido with artist and educator Holly Gillette, and discover how artists use elements such as composition, character and color to tell stories. Look closely at several tapestries and preparatory sketches in the exhibition that depict stories of two heroines from classical mythology. Then write your own heroic story and bring it to life through the creation of gouache and chalk drawings.
