We are not going to be going fathoms deep with this one - it's the kind of study that a planning mumma (ahem ;) ) could get seriously submerged in resource gathering.... and then we'd never start.
We signed up, briefly, to the members section on Read-Aloud Revival, as we plan to use the following interviews as a leaping off point:
Illustrator 101 members section - Workshop
Patricia Polacco members section - Author Event P.P author/illustrator
Jonathan Bean members section - Author Event J.B author/illustrator
Tomie dePaola members section - Author Event T.P author/illustrator
Books about select picture book illustrators already read:
Tasha Tudor Drawn From New England: Tasha Tudor ~ Tudor
Robert Ingpen Pictures Telling Stories: The Art of Robert Ingpen ~ Cox
Bill Peet Bill Peet: An Autobiography ~ Peet
I'm placing these few links here for me to find again quickly:
Exploring Language: Static Images - Picture Books NZ English
Thumb templates for writers and illustrators
Daisy will be choosing some favourite illustrators of her choice to study, one illustrator a month, and then I'm asking that she:
1: craft a brief illustrator biography,
2: select various books by that illustrator to work with, discuss techniques,
3: recreate an illustration using the artists techniques (update: this became on optional extra, as she became immersed in working with other craft mediums.)
Both of us are really looking forward to working on this together since we are devout picture book appreciators -simple picture books and sophisticated picture books, we like both.
