GED 533 - Creating the Picture Book

In this hands-on course, students learn to transfer ideas and stories into picture books. By exploring the relationship of text and visual images, reflecting on current trends in children’s literature, and discussing the history and business of printing and bookmaking, participants experience thorough investigating of the illustrated book. No previous art-making skills are required. Students complete a rough draft of their short picture book and one finished page.

Credits: 3 cr.
