Stella East has made over 300 presentations with her two books “Dreamstones”
and “The Paint Box” for over 6000 children from the
first grade to the seventh.
“The Paint
Box” is about Marietta Tintoretto from Venice, the daughter
of the great artist Tintoretto. She was dressed up like a boy so
she could be with her father and paint (A made up story around a
true person)
With the use of
'first sketches', drawings, photos and the complete set of original
paintings, Stella explains her working procedure.
Stella tells about
Tintoretto's home in Venice which she visited, and how she found
Marietta's funny shaped pallet and the colourful stockings. Stella
tells the story, and about what is true and what is made up, how
she has tried to express that visually, and what other things she
does as a visual storyteller to make her visual story as interesting
as possible.
Stella East is
available for giving presentations in 2004/2005.
