IMAGERY FOR CHILDREN
OPEN TO ALL SCHOOL OF THE ARTS STUDENTS
No Prerequisites

CARD 427/002, #17552 Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1:00 pm until 3:20 pm

An advanced course developing both fiction and nonfiction illustrations intended for the preschool and elementary school children's publishing market.

Arrrrgh, what do I do? T-T It's something I'd really like to take and it's likely not to be around next semester, if ever. New class. I already have 16 credit hours; I can drop the one class that would get in the way of taking that one (welding) and slide that one in... but if I do that and change my mind later, I don't have a chance in hell to pick the welding class back up (as soon as I drop it, someone will snag it -- there aren't any more spots available).

...and, I only have 16 credit hours? Odd, but that's okay. I think I was thinking something else.

...have horrible headache that headache meds haven't bashed, yet. Today is not my day. Tomorrow doesn't look good, either.

Choices

Tough choice. I think you draw what interests you, don't worry about whether it is for adults or children. You don't have a weakness there. You lack 3-D techniques, like welding. Work on your weaknesses. You can already write and illustrate well. That's why I thought they were crazy to "reject" you for Illustration Dept., but you really didn't need that. You are taking care of your possible weakness...3-D techniques...go with that. Hope that helps. Whatever you choose will be okay, in the big picture. Good luck this year. I will be looking for a spinning wheel at the Hillsville Labor Day Flea Market.

See, I have a feeling I'm going to go crazy with mainly 3-D things the entire semester, so throwing a class like this illustration one in the mix will smooth nerves and help keep me sane.

Welding is an open-door sort of thing in the sculpture department -- anyone who wants to learn just has to go in and dedicate their time and efforts; you don't really need to take a class, just be willing to go in and not be afraid to ask questions.

And, when all else fails, my dad can teach me how to weld -- he's already given me a stack of books to read, now all I have to do is snag him for an hour or two to show me how to work everything in practice.

In that case, I'd go for the change of pace. Insane is fun, but sane is not too bad. I can't wait to see what you do with 3-D. I think I have an extra book on writing for children. Basically, just write and draw the way you would like to see a book. You have great instincts. I have an extra copy of a writing for children book, also a duplicate copy of "Mistress Masham's Repose" by the author of the "Sword in the Stone", T.H. White. Very funny. Very well illustrated with detailed pen and ink.
