The text displayed in the “Giant Squid” is accurate because Candace Fleming presents the information in a manner that isn’t generalized. Fleming states factual information about giant squids that is certainly known like their physical attributes, how they swim and eat prey. Fleming then continues to even provide information on things that are unknown about giant squids. She does so by using a theory technique to demonstrate that there is still information about giant squids that remains a…

What distinguishes the power of a click versus the power of a stroke? In “What is Cinema” by André Bazin, Bazin examines the role of photography in this history of art. With the introduction of photography, painting and illustration were regarded as inferior art forms to replicate the world. Bazin argues that there is no way for a handmade visual art to produce the same realistic encounter as a photograph (8). In addition, Bazin elaborated on the ability of photographs to “transfer(s) reality…

on the same situation or person. However, Browne’s moral dives deeper as the illustrations detail how the attitude of a person can, not only, change an individual’s outlook on life, but importantly change those around them. Browne conveys this message not only through text, but also relies heavily on his illustration of each voice’s perspective to create a complex story through a simply narrative and detailed illustrations. For example, the son, Charles, sees the park as in the beginning of his…

To begin, the illustrations show the visual representation of the unique food item so the child can connect the new word to the picture. In addition, the families look different in the illustrations, allowing for racial diversity. However, even though the color may appear different, all families are shown happy, and connected. The illustrations benefit the story by adding racial diversity, along with depictions of the cultural…

for the astonishing illustrations. The Caldecott Award Chair Betsy Hearne mentions that the “thoughtful design, from the front jacket with reflective silver letters to the final image, sustains a completely satisfying read- aloud experience” (Caldecott Medal and Honor Books). A little persistence can make those who are small conquer big things. This is what happens in Kitten’s First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes. The author supports the idea of persevering through illustrations, tone, and settings…

opinion, I believe that Dante would have chosen Gustave Doré because Doré’s illustrations match the way Dante intended the reader to view the story. Doré’s drawings are very dark, and represent the way hell is described in the Inferno. The way Dante describes his journey through hell, whether it be the creatures he comes across, or the way the sinner is being punished, is very vivid and dark, much like Doré’s illustrations. Dante’s reasoning for writing the Inferno, in my opinion, is to allow…

has an imaginary element. The book includes many beautifully hand drawn illustrations in many different styles made from different people. They contain many decorations and intricate illustrations known as illuminated manuscripts. This technique made manuscripts not only an educational tool, but also an artistic technique. The purpose of the book was to spread knowledge and awareness about Christianity through illustrations and decorations. The Bestiary consists of many books or stories about…

home. My mom and dad have read, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” and “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” to me more times than I can recount. What I loved and still admire the most about Carle’s work is not his words, or story lines, but his illustrations. Though born in 1929, in Syracuse, New York, Eric Carle moved with his parents to Germany. He attended school in Germany and graduated from the esteemed art school, “The Akademie der bildenden Kunste.” After graduation, Carle moved back…
