This course is an introduction to the art and business of illustrating children's books. It will cover the business of illustration for the child and young adult book markets, and the roles of the agent, publisher, author, and artist. Students will experience the complete production process, from analyzing the manuscript, to choosing what to illustrate from the text, thumbnails, character and setting design, layout, comps, to finished artwork. Students will experiment with the art materials of their choice, and work towards developing an individual artistic style.
