This class will teach students picture book-making. They will learn the creative process, the professional practice, and the educational, literary, social, and artistic significance of the medium. Students will learn picture book writing, structure, and composition, and will explore a variety of illustrative styles and media. The class will touch upon conceptual problem solving as well as the history and diversity of classic and contemporary creators. Students will come out of this class having begun a picture book, armed with the tools to pitch a project to a literary agent or publishing house.
