Ellen Lupton will present a lecture at 4 p.m. Friday, April 4, in Ken and Linda Sue Shollmier Hall, Room 250 of Vol Walker Hall, on the University of Arkansas campus, as part of the spring lecture series in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design and in partnership with the School of Art in Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences.

Lupton, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (AAAS), is a designer, writer and educator. Lupton teaches in the Graphic Design Master of Fine Arts program at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, Maryland. She is also an American Institute of Graphic Arts Gold Medalist.

In her lecture, “Visual Storytelling and Sensory Design,” Lupton will present principles of visual storytelling and sensory design. In her work as a designer, writer and curator, Lupton explores narrative techniques across media, including print, exhibitions and video.

Storytelling propels action and movement through time and space. Sensory design combines sound, touch, smell and taste to enliven the path through an exhibition or retail environment. The narrative arc and the hero’s journey are classic tools for understanding and creating graphic images, user journeys and public spaces.

This lecture is open to the public. Admission is free, with limited seating.
