Imagination
and a Pencil…
Illustrating Children’s Books
A Visit with Matt Phelan
What does an illustrator do and how does he or she do it? Matt introduces students to the creative process by showing the steps he follows in creating books from early sketches to finished illustrations.
Each session (45 minutes – 1 hour) can be tailored to specific grades or age groups, focusing on picture books, illustrated chapter books, the publication process, or a combination of all these topics. Grades 1-8, high school, college, or adult seminars.
Class participation, creativity exercises, and drawing demonstrations help make the sessions active and fun. Book signings can follow the visit (schools/libraries are responsible for ordering books in advance).
