The plein air workshop in Cape May with Joseph Sweeney was a wonderful experiencefor me. I enjoyed working with Joe and the other painters. Joe was always availablethroughout the weekend to provide advice and tips. Each painting session began with ademonstration to help us focus on the prominent features of the scene. He was veryhelpful to me personally as I worked in pastel, which is relatively new medium for me. I certainly hope to avail myself of future painting opportunities with Joe.

Explore the visual language of picture books inthis hands-on illustration workshop with Caldecott Medal-winning book creator, DavidWiesner. Picture books are about how images work together, relate to each other, andconvey information to create a whole that isgreater than the individual elements. Learn how images move the reader through the book;how to create a compelling visual rhythm; howinformation and emotion are transmittedthrough the size, shape and number of images;and how design affects not only the look of thebook, but the story elements as well. Drawing will be the primary focus of the class; a choice ofstories will be available, but students may bringtheir own – original or public domain.

Renowned picture book creator David Wiesnergrew up in New Jersey and studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, where he honed his passion for visual storytelling and learned to channel it into the medium of picture books, whichhe both authors and illustrates. Wiesner's bookshave become much-loved classics around the world. They have earned him three prestigious Caldecott Medals for Tuesday in 1992, The ThreePigs in 2002 and Flotsam in 2007; numerousawards (including additional Caldecott Honors);and have been translated into more than a dozenlanguages. This year, with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, he has published David Wiesner's Spot, a wordless, semi-narrative app that allowsusers to explore his telescoping, hand-painted butexpertly digitized worlds.
