Books, Books, Books! Spend a week exploring the Graphic Design features that make books even MORE fascinating than the story! Look at the works of multiple famous Illustrators and discuss the ways they used perspective, lighting, and color to enhance the images they created. Design your own Accordion Fold Book to tell a story... with or without words! Using Illustration board, create a 4 to 6 "spread" book, then draw, line, and color your illustrations and assemble the book to keep! Create a single illustration in paint (watercolor, acrylic, or watercolor crayon) to enhance a favorite poem or song lyric. Create a book jacket design for a favorite story using mixed media (paints, pencils, inks, etc.) and study the use of various FONTS to enhance the illustration and design. Last, but not least, learn how to CONSTRUCT a small hard bound, cloth covered, blank book using easy to find materials... a skill that will last you a lifetime! This camp is a Grand Adventure! All material fees are included.
