The chapter was very interesting. I learned so much about picture books and now I view them differently. I never realized how much is inferred when reading a picture book. I went to the library to pick out a book for class I ended up checking out six picture books so I could read them with my four year old. He loves it and thinks they are so funny. When using picture books for students it can be used as a writing exercise and will help promote higher order thinking along with learning about the genre of art. I now look at the inside cover for what type of medium was used to illustrate and I look at the techniques used in the art work. like hatches used to texture.
I admire the authors of these genre because so much is said with little to no words, just expressions and motion on the pages. Wow!

I agree there is so much to picture books I never knew about..from the number of pages..to the art work...its actually pertty amazing.
ReplyDeleteI also agree. Something I never really thought about was how children can watch a Disney movie/ cartoon to the brink of wearing the DVD out, but the Disney books don't hold their attention at all. There is definately a lot more that goes into Early Childhood than people think.
ReplyDeletePicture books spark the imagination don't they. I use to think that they were just books with no words, but now I know a lot more about them and will value them more!
