The Fine Art of Children's Book Illustration: WASAL Exhibit Opening Lecture with Nancy Ekholm Burkert, Laura Dronzek, Lois Ehlert, Renée Graef, Kevin Henkes & David McLimans
Sunday, October 11 | 2:30 - 3:45 PM
Venue: Wisconsin Studio/Overture
Presented by the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters
The Fine Art of Children's Book Illustration will present the work of several of Wisconsin's most accomplished illustrator/artists of children's books. We will explore each artist's indivudual process for producing a finished children's book, exploring how the artist progresses from an idea to a finished set of original illustrations ready for the publisher. Each of these artists has a different way of entering the world of the child and bringing forth a gift composed of different shapes, colors, lines and words. This variety of creative expression will reward gallery goers and perhaps surprise an audience not acquainted with the work of these nationally known artists who live and work in our midst.
Exhibit runs October 11 - December 6, 2009.
