Book Review
1. BIBLIOGRAPHY Cummings, Pat. 1992. TALKING WITH ARTISTS.
PLOT SUMMARY
2.This is a book that sheds light on children books illustrators, illustrating techniques, usage of color, and types of paints they use ranging from pastel water colors to oil paints. A common element to be found in this book is that these illustrators began painting at a very young age about themes from their environment and now often placing people close to them as the characters in the story. This is an inspiring book that encourages children to young children who enjoy drawing to continue this to improve their drawing skills. This collection of artists sharing things about their life and their job is an eye opener to educators to be cognizant of children’s drawing abilities and the different types of illustrating or drawing artists they can become.
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
3. This book brings the readers close to the illustrators by bringing them into their world and illustrating career. The readers feel engaged with each one of these artists who share about how they knew at a very young age before fifth grade that they wanted to become illustrators. Their environment played a great deal of influence in their career because most of them had the freedom to use everyday objects found at home to draw or make collages without anyone bothering their area. The illustrators share their daily routine and describe their open space environment with plenty of windows.
