Statement of Direction

I have always been fascinated with children’s books. Even now at the age of 21 my favorite part of a bookstore or library is the children’s section. I believe that there is a part of me that still has not grown up and it can be brought to life by flipping through a children’s book. My favorite part of children’s books is the wonderful illustrations that help bring the store to life. I have such fond memories of my mother reading aloud to me while I gazed at the spectacular illustrations.

And now I have been presented with the opportunity to refine my drawing skills in any manner that my heart desires. So I have decided to focus on how to become an extraordinary children’s illustrator.

Through the course of this class I hope to reinvent classic children’s illustrations as well as illustrate a story of my own.
