In September, Reading is Fundamental (RIF) and the Corcoran Gallery of Art hosted an illustrator extravaganza in Washington DC with 20+ illustrators and tens of thousands of attendees.

There are some fun and informative resources on their website I'd like bring to your attention.

At http://www.rif.org/art/illustrators_atwork.mspx you'll find a series of 6 slide shows that show some of the styles and tools illustrators use in their studios to create children?s books: Collage, Marker, Pencil, Brush, Fruit and Etching. Slides are culled from movies I made in the studios of Denise Fleming, David Wiesner, David Macaulay, Bryan Collier, Vera B. Williams, Betsy Lewin, Chris Raschka, Saxton Freymann, Arthur Geisert and Michael Emberley.

At http://www.rif.org/art/timeline.mspx Leonard Marcus created a wonderful timeline titled Picture Books Through Time. It provides a narrative of twenty titles that have made an impact on the history of the picture book.

You will need Flash to view any of these programs.

Peace and happy fall.
