Share This Video

Part of the Teaching Artists Present collection.

Artists draw inspiration from everywhere and everything, and in this video, teaching artist Stephanie Krause demonstrates how one simple shape can turn into a variety of outcomes. Stephanie takes viewers through a careful process using folded paper and a bit of imagination – turning one drawing into three! Get ready to open your eyes and mind to the possibilities with this video that shows the power of creativity. 

Stephanie Krause is a book artist based in Philadelphia, PA, primarily working with elementary and middle school students. She believes we can all learn to see the world through “artist eyes” and find joy in the unexpected – like seeing animals in the clouds or dancing branches. Stephanie hopes to foster students’ spirit of exploration and creativity, and their ability to find art in the unexpected. To learn more about Stephanie, visit her website:
