Described by the Guardian as "a unique course with an international reputation for turning out successful illustrators," the children's illustration course at the North Wales School of Art is the only one in the U.K. specializing entirely in children's book illustration. Director of the Master's Course, Desdemona McCannon will introduce the school's B.A. and M.A. degree programs, show examples of student work, explain types of assignments given, and discuss the school's collaborations with other colleges in Europe. See http://www.newi.ac.uk/nwsad/ for the North Wales School of Art Design.
A professional children's illustrator in her own right, most notably with Bloomsbury, McCannon will also present her research into characters and pictograms, influenced by her experience of living and working in Tokyo as a character designer. She will discuss the work's evolution into a research project involving school children in the UK.
•15:00-16:30
Anders Suneson will introduce children's books from Sweden that impacted his childhood and discuss the world of children's books in Sweden today. In addition to presenting the works of successful Swedish illustrators, he will share samples from his own works: 15 children's books and more than 60 textbooks. He will also offer insights into the current children's book market in Sweden and Europe. Suneson's career as an illustrator, animator and graphic designer spans nearly three decades, working with clients across Europe. A board member of Svenska Tecknare (Swedish Association of Illustrators and Graphic Designers), Suneson is also honorary member of the New York Society of Illustrators, Chairman of the Nordic Collaboration, Swedish representative of the European Illustrator's Forum, and former Vice Chairman of ICOGRADA. Most recently he has been involved in the new animation collective Antiloopfilm (http://www.antiloopfilm.se/ ). Learn more about Anders Suneson at http://www.tecknadebilder.com/
