August Webinar 2020

Date: Wednesday 5 August, 2020
Time: 7.30pm - 8.30pm AEST 
(The correct starting time for your time zone will be provided when you register.)

Abstract

From a small sketch scribbled in a notepad, through to the published book, Bear in Space was a true creative collaboration. Deb and Marjorie will explain how they developed the story through concept, manuscript, thumbnails, storyboards and illustrations. They will show the changes Bear went through and why, and discuss how they arrived at the final book. Participants will hear inside knowledge of how kids’ book creators work and have a deeper understanding of the how images and text need to work together to create the overall story. They will learn how the character of Bear and his journey began from a very personal place for Deb and Marjorie and how reading the text and understanding the book’s visual literacy is crucial for a complete appreciation and enjoyment of the characters, their journey and the story.
