PROGRAM:  the course will develop through an initial part of analysis of illustrated books and study of perspectives

and usable framing, addressing all the aspects and steps necessary to develop a text and transform it into an illustrated book. 
From the emotional/psychological impact of the story, through the rules of composition to the use of emotional perspective and finally color, the course will proceed through a series of practical exercises during which students will learn to illustrate short texts assigned by the teacher, with the aim of narrating them like film directors;
illustrating with a technique of free choice but paying attention to making the image immediate through a composition of elements, capable of guiding the reader's eye and conveying the message to be transmitted, also through a correct color choice.
At the end of the course, students will have created a series of illustrations for different targets, complete in image and color to be included in their portfolio.
