Description

A picture speaks a thousand words, so the saying goes and telling a story in pictures is both challenging and immensely satisfying. Books live in which profound stories unfold through a series of extraordinary drawings that illustrate ordinary emotions, experiences, and lives. This course will cover basic stages in the creation of a picture book, including understanding solving problems of pacing, page turns, developing ideas, creating sequential storytelling images and book layout. The emphasis will be on the process of making visual story seamlessly, from the first rough thumbnail sketches all the way through to present a dummy. Students will explore finding their β€˜visual voice’ and will experiment different approaches in order to build a base for their own picture book. This course is repeatable.
