Storytelling in Pictures: From Idea to Art- Opening Reception

Description

The Museums of Los Gatos presents two new exhibitions, "Draw Me A Story: A Century of Children's Book Illustration" and "Children's Book Illustration A-Z," January 17-February 24, 2013.

A good children's picture book still has the power to whisk young minds off to another time and place--even in today's world of computer games and high-definition TV. "Draw Me a Story: A Century of Children's Book Illustration" and "Children's Book Illustration A-Z" explore bold adventures, classic fairy tales, amazing animals, and imaginative ABCs, all seen through the eyes of artists who created works especially for children.

"Draw Me a Story," organized by the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco, presents original works of art in a thematic and nostalgic trip through the history of children's book illustrators and illustration techniques. Twentieth century artists include innovators such as: Chris Van Allsburg, Tomie DePaola, Maurice Sendak, William Steig, and Rosemary Wells.

"Children's Book Illustration A-Z" is an original exhibit organized by The Museums of Los Gatos that showcases the work of Twenty-first century Bay Area Children's Book Illustrators. Artists include: Bob Barner, Yuyi Morales, Todd Parr, and Stacy Schuett, as well as digital media illustration (Graphic Novels) by Thi Bui and Emma T. Capps.
