Children's Book Illustration

This course emphasizes the artist's role in children's picture book illustration and focuses on the world of visual storytelling. Through demonstrations and in-class assignments, students working at various skill levels explore materials and techniques used to create children's book illustrations, which are images that guide children into a whole new imaginative universe through a sequence of memorable visual images. Students learn to balance text and image on the page by creating book dummies to organize their ideas. Basic drawing skills are helpful.
