Illustration for Children’s Books is a comprehensive course in the art of book illustration.

Welcome to the wonderful world of children’s books! This can be a rewarding career or simply a way to make a special memento for your family...  or both. In these two weekends we will learn about book design, page layout, character development, and the foundation for interpreting a story. Students will look at assorted styles of illustration from which they will develop their own unique characters and designs.

In this class, we will complete a rough draft of a 32-page children’s book, then move on to a finished portfolio-ready illustration.

Prior drawing experience is helpful but not necessary depending on the story you are illustrating.
