RBCM@Home (Kids)

Book Illustration with Ellen Rooney

We love to read books, but we also love to see books. The pictures that often go along with words can help us imagine the world that we are entering into in fun and beautiful ways.

For this session we'll be meeting artist/ illustrator Ellen Rooney and making illustrations of our own. Through the process we'll explore how to make drawings using collage technique, as well as the importance of representing diversity in what we create.

This session is in partnership with the Greater Victoria Public Library BC Summer Reading Club.

RBCM @ Home (Kids) is hosted by Chris O'Connor.

What you'll need:

• Paper
• Drawing and colouring materials (crayons, markers, paints, etc.)
• Scissors
• Glue/ Glue stick
• Construction paper or other coloured paper for collage (including old newspapers, magazines, etc.)
