A Study of Mixed Media Art Creation for Children’s Picture Books

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to create art media of picture books for children using mixed media coatings. In the beginning, through document analysis, the types, characteristics, and styles of current picture books were discussed as references for the creation. Then through interactive teaching with discussions, the teacher and students started to plan for the content and the storyboard of the picture book. And the graphic script had been discussed and revised several times. And delicate sketches were completed, scanned, and edited with the software Photoshop. Finally, the art creation for picture books using both hand drawings and computer graphing with mixed media was completed.
