Program Description

Event Details

A picture is worth a thousand words. Pictures, or symbols, are everywhere in modern society - from emojis and advertising, to religious symbols and road signs These markings provide us with context, directions, and meaning. But why did we start creating them?  How many do you recognize? Probably more than you realize!

Join us for a look at the symbols of our lives and test your knowledge of them!  As a former children's book illustrator and elementary art teacher, speaker Judy Hierstein has long enjoyed reading the picture first!
