Primary School teachers
- To explore the wide range of creative activities that can be carried out with picture books in addition to reading comprehension activities.
- To differentiate picture books from other illustrated texts in order to highlight their uniqueness.
- To identify the different parts of a picture book and how each part contributes to the visual and verbal richness of the texts.
- To analyze how borders, colours, lines, two-dimensional and three-dimensional effects affect the plot of the picture book.
- To identify postmodernist features in contemporary picture books and how they break away from tradition.
By means of a deep analysis of the art of illustration, teachers will learn to discover and interpret both how writer and artist stir young people’s imaginations. Besides, teachers will explore the wide range of creative activities that can be carried out with picture books in addition to reading comprehension activities.
This course will be delivered in a workshop mode for participants to enrich their understanding of the texts with contributions from the group. As the aim of this course is that participants have a hands-on experience, picture books of different illustrations, artistic styles, typographies, designs and age groups will be introduced for teachers to use in their classes. Teachers are invited to bring the picture books they use at school to this workshop.
