My Personal Picture Book - Kids Course (ages 4-7)
Making a picture book is a multi-disciplinary task of know-hows: construct a concept, write down a storyline, deploy different media and styles to visualise the scenes in mind. Through this process, children will find the language, imagery and way of expression that is uniquely their own.
A picture book is an incredibly effective medium of communication and creative education. By making one, kids will learn about:
- Sequential Images - exploring ways of folding and drawing, and getting familiar with the format of story-telling by pages.
- Characters and Figures - playing with different tools and graphic elements, and learning to develop continuous characters in a story.
- Background and Context - using more visual elements to create landscape and backgrounds, and grasping the importance of context within a story.
- Book Making - putting together the finished pictures into a book and presenting one’s story to others with structure.
