Slide25The Snowy Day
The classic children's book by Ezra Jack Keats turns 50 this year. When it came out in 1962, it was one of the first major kids' books to feature a black protagonist. It became a huge hit, and was embraced by parents, teachers and children of all colors.
Slide26Keats' InspirationIn 1940, Life magazine published a short photo essay focused on a little boy in Liberty County, Ga., who was about to undergo a blood test. Keats was struck by the sweet images of the child, and cut the group of photographs out of the magazine. That little boy was the inspiration for Keats' character Peter, the African-American protagonist of The Snowy Day and six books that followed.
Slide27Digital Art:
Computers dramatically changed the industry and today many cartoonists and illustrators create digital illustrations using computers, graphic tablets, and scanners.
Software such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop are now widely used by those professionals.
