Conducted by one of the Centre's Creative Learning Associates, this is the perfect workshop to prepare your students for picture book competitions or develop a sound understanding of the process for Curriculum requirements - primary or secondary.

This interactive workshop will explore the concepts of forming ideas, editing, storyboards, dummy books, layout, illustrations and more.  Students will be inspired by the creative process behind creating picture books and be able to hold, view and analyse a range of great Australian picture books.

Students will engage through the lens of the WA English curriculum. Students will engage imaginatively and critically with literature and appreciate its aesthetic qualities. Through the study of a wide range of texts students will develop an understanding of themselves and their place in the world. 

We can also tailor this session to your students or class activities.

The workshop will contribute to the goals of the Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration, in particular that all young Australians become confident and creative individuals, successful lifelong learners, and active and informed members of the community.
