YOUNG ILLUSTRATORS WORKSHOP

This workshop was designed to give students of all ages a chance to be creative and gain knowledge of how a picture book is illustrated.

Length: 50 minutes
Fee: $500 for two workshops (same day)

The Young Illustrators workshop consists of:

• A talk about the process of illustrating a picture book, including the importance of doing photo research and how to get ideas from your family history.
• Exercises that help students find clues in the words of a story, to come up with picture ideas, using my books as a model.

• A four-panel display highlighting the steps involved in making the art in a picture book. I show the line drawings, thumbnail sketches, photos and painted papers actually used in creating my books.
• An art demonstration of my cut-paper collage technique, that allows students to see me drawing images and cutting out and pasting down the art.
• A special hands-on project for a limited numbers of students (maximum 30), where they actually get a chance to illustrate a passage from a book, using the cut-paper collage technique.
