Available spots
Service Description
$605 until March 15 / $655 PICTURE BOOK WORKSHOP Telling the Whole Story: How words and images collaborate to make pictures books The illustrations in a picture book do more than decorate the text. They enlarge and expand it, adding layers of interest and meaning. In this laid-back intensive for both authors and illustrators, join Caldecott winner Eric Rohmann as he teaches you how to write the best picture book possible. We'll explore the two languages of picture books—words and images— and how to use them together to create compelling, coherent stories. This week of in-class work will include discussions, question and answers (and play!), and we'll delve into using pictures (collage, sketches, doodles, dummies, and even stick people!) as a way to think about your finished picture book, whether you're a writer, illustrator, or both. Bring the story or illustrations you've been working on or develop them during the week while we're together. Let’s dive deep into how to use the storytelling power of the picture book.
