From Ideas to the Page: Making Books
(K-5th, can be adapted for older art classes)
(Approx 45 min, can be extended)
A look into the production process of making a picture book or comic. I hope to inspire young artists to dive deep into their creativity and learn how ideas are honed into a book, emphasizing that there is no right or wrong way to make a book.
• My process, from idea to final book, including a look at:
• sketches
• Book drafts
• Final art process
• The design process: ideation, revision, final
• Comic drawing activity
