Prerequisites
As the artistic aesthetic of children's illustration is more flexible than what is typically found in traditional concept art, there are no hard and fast technical limitations. However, students should be able to comfortably draw and paint in a style that is fitting for them or their project. Also, students interested in developing their own manuscript should have a working outline of the story ready to go, and students interested in illustration only should have in mind a pre-existing child-friendly story (like a fairy tale) to use for their illustrations.
Materials
Students can work digitally or traditionally as long as they are able to upload a digital file of their work to the class page, and have the necessary equipment to view and participate in the online classes.
