Illustrating Picture Books at the School of Visual Arts, NYC
SUMMER 2021
Thursday nights 6:30 - 9:30pm beginning
Virtual Class via Zoom. You will need a WiFi device with camera.
Get to work on that story you have hidden in your sock drawer!
This course will lead the students through every
step in the creation of a picture book, from developing the initial
idea, through plotting out the book, dummy book and final artwork. There
will be in-class drawing exercises and demos designed to help students
improve their drawing and thinking skills; by the completion of the
course each student will have developed a short picture book (or a dummy
for a longer book). The publishing world and other aspects of the
children's market will be discussed. Students may work on a story they
have created, or one written by someone else. Fairy tales, fables,
alphabet books and journals as well as other types of material can be
used. Students may work in any media, and experimentation is encouraged

Illustration Portfolio at SVA
(Stay tuned... May be offered in Fall 2021)Brush up or start your portfolio. Stretch out and try something new or work on that children's book you've been dreaming of. Discover your personal style, and work on concepts and execution. Centered on the individual student and his or her unique talent, this course is designed to develop and solidify personal style, strong concepts and clear execution of ideas. How to approach an illustration job with an understanding of the type of work you want to create will be explored, as well as business aspects such as finding illustration markets, contracts, negotiations, subsidiary rights and reps, copyrights, promotion and self-marketing. Assignments will touch on various sectors of the illustration market, including publishing, editorial, licensing and corporate. Students will be encouraged to broadly interpret the assignments: an assignment about time can become a science-fiction piece, a conceptual illustration, or a wonderful children's book. Color, value, concept, execution and medium will be covered. Assignments vary each semester.
