| Fee: | $300 single session, $150 each additional session, travel expenses negotiable. Even though I live in Ohio, I make frequent trips to Maryland. Do not hesitate to call because of my location. |
| Availability: | All ages |
| Features: | I will talk about the process of illustrating a picture book from manuscript to finished product. Students will learn now I develop ideas, conduct research and execute the creative process. Examples of some of the tools used, such as an airbrush, will also be described. I will show original artwork and compare it to the printed book and can provide on-the-spot drawing which will remain with the class. Another option is conducting a session like the first, but also includes working with students to create a classroom book. I illustrate the cover and each child writes and illustrates a page. This works best with one or two classes and is equivalent to two sessions because of the time involved. |
