This article examines the creation of literacy metaphor projects with teacher candidates. The article highlights the partnering of visual arts with storytelling in ways that illuminate how metaphors can clarify one’s perceived roles in the classroom. With accompanied narratives, the metaphor projects paint a picture that reflects how the process can deepen and disrupt the practice and assumptions of educators.
