A Study of Art Creation for Picture Books Painted with Mixed Media

Abstract:

This study aimed to use mixed media as paint, through case study with interactive discussion teaching method between the teacher and the students, to plan for and design a storyboard as the script. Current papers used for painting and characteristics of mixed media paint were introduced to the students to help them choose papers and mixed media according to their own specialties, so that they could come up with a picture book with richer and more delicate content. Furthermore, documentary analysis was conducted with current documents related to picture book creation in order to provide students references for their creation. Finally, the students were guided to use computer graphing software to edit the scanned hand-drawings and perform typesetting. Eventually, the art creation of a picture book with both hand-drawing and computer graphing was completed.
