Inviting R. Gregory Christie to your school
affords students a spectacular opportunity to get inside the
mind of an award-winning children’s book illustrator
and explores the making of picture books. Mr. Christie, a
natural with children and teens, draws on stories from his
arts education, and the creative process. Participants will
be enlightened and inspired by Christie’s informed,
down to earth view of the literary and visual arts
Some topics:
• How a book is produced – start
to finish
• Do’s and don't's when illustrating a book
• Lessons in perspective, realism, and abstraction
• The effects of color and composition
• The importance of reading
• The interaction between art and text
• The relationship between illustrator, author and publisher
• Why Christie paints such big hands and skinny necks
If there is a strong interest, R. Gregory
Christie can work within any budget or curriculum. Contact
