In
this session the children learn about the creative process of
making of a book. I talk about the different production stages:
from idea to manuscript, story-board, roughs, lay-outs, artwork,
proofs and finally publication. I also talk about the role of
the editor and the designer, about co-editions in different languages,
and I show lots of materials from the book. At the end of the
session, I do a speed-drawing demonstration!
The
picture book used for this session is the 64 Zoo Lane book 'Georgina
the Giraffe' or (from October 2004) 'The Lost Acorns'.
