Gavin, Emma. "Wonder/Wander: An Exploration of Storytelling, Illustrated Children's Literature, and Narrative Simulation Through Hypertext and the Artist Book Form." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2014. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/340.
Full textAbstract:
For my Senior project as a Fine Arts Major at Scripps College, I spent the fall semester exploring the history and possibility of the digital and analog artist book form. After going through a number of foundational changes, my project concept was eventually grounded in the form of a web-based hypertext artist book. Based on my pre-existing interest in storytelling and my previous study of mental immersion in possible worlds, I started the process by compiling an artistic representation of what it means to be a young girl discovering the possibilities for creation and empowerment available to her through storytelling. Wonder/Wander is the culmination of my experimentation with digital art, hypertext, and visual storytelling. It is my contribution to the artist book form as I have considered it and its evolution into the digital age.

Merle, Amélie. "Le livre d'artiste pour enfants : une approche esthétique et socioculturelle de l'enfance." Thesis, Lyon, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017LYSE2021.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse observe le phénomène du livre d’artiste pour enfants. L’objectif premier de l’étude est de relier notre objet à une interrogation plus fine concernant la place de l’art et une forme de pratique artistique spécifique dans la construction du concept d’enfance en résonance avec des problématiques éducatives. Nos travaux tentent de mettre au jour une esthétique de l’enfance présente dans un contexte de renouveau socioculturel des années 1968. En effet, c’est dans cette même période que l’on peut observer des mouvements et pratiques artistiques issus de l’avant-garde ayant participés à l’élaboration d’un autre regard sur l’enfance au moyen de l’art pour et auprès de l’enfant. Notre réflexion s’inscrit dans le champ des sciences de l’éducation mais aussi dans celui de l’histoire de l’art car le livre d’artiste fait partie de ces objets hybrides situés à mi-chemin entre le livre et l’œuvre d’art. On interroge ainsi notre objet : si d’une façon générale, le livre pour enfants est porteur d’une certaine représentation qu’une société se fait de l’enfance, s’il est comme un miroir de ce qu’elle souhaite offrir comme modèles d’enfances, le livre spécifique qui nous intéresse, le livre d’artiste pour enfants, ne peut-il pas nous dire lui aussi quelque chose de spécifique au sujet de l’enfance d’aujourd’hui ? Afin d’appréhender notre objet dans toutes ses dimensions, il semble pertinent d’interroger l’évolution de l’image de l’enfance dans le livre mais également d’interroger les artistes qui créent les livres artistiques destinés à la jeunesse comme Leszek Brogowsky (2010) le préconise dans le cadre d’une méthodologie d’étude des underground artistiques. On procède alors à un examen attentif des livres d’artistes considérés comme des dispositifs, des espaces alternatifs (Dupeyrat, 2012), lieux d’expression d’un certain regard porté sur l’enfance. C’est en interrogeant les artistes, en tentant de retracer leur trajectoire (Passeron, 1990) que notre objet deviendra également plus lisible et visible. Pourquoi des artistes à part entière ont fait ce choix de créer pour l’enfance ? En quoi le livre d’artiste pour enfants peut-il être représentatif d’un nouveau regard sur l’enfance ? Nos travaux mettent au jour des regards croisés afin d’observer l’art et l’enfance autrement<br>This thesis observe the phenomenon of the artist book for children. The primary objective of the study is to link our object to a deeper questioning concerning the place of art and how a form of specific artistic practice can take part in the concept of childhood and educational issues. The research attempt to clarify an aesthetic of childhood in the years 68, a significant development in a context of socio-cultural change in progress. Indeed, it is in this same period we can observe avant-garde artistic movements and practices which take part in the development of another perspective on childhood with art for and with children. Our reflection is in the field of the sciences of education but also in the history of art because the artist's book is part of these hybrid objects located halfway between the book and the work Of art. We question our object: if in a general way, the children's book carries a certain representation that a society makes of childhood, if it is like a mirror of what it wants to offer as Models of childhood, the specific book that interests us, the artist's book for children, can not it also tell us something specific about the childhood of today? In order to understand our object in all its dimensions, it seems pertinent to question the evolution of the image of childhood in the book but also to question artists who create art books intended for youth such as Leszek Brogowsky (2010) advocates it in the context of the study of specific artistic practices . We then proceed to a careful examination of artists' books considered as devices, alternative spaces (Dupeyrat, 2012), places of expression of a certain regard focused on childhood. It is by interrogating the artists, while trying to retrace their trajectory (Passeron, 1990) that our object will also become more readable and visible. Why have full-fledged artists made this choice for creation for childhood? How can the artist book for children be representative of a new look at childhood? Our work wish brings to light new looks to observe art and childhood otherwise

Little, Laura. "A practice-based exploration of the relationship between artists' books and children's picturebooks." Thesis, Anglia Ruskin University, 2015. http://arro.anglia.ac.uk/701519/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a practice‐based exploration of the relationship between narrative and the use of the book form in artists’ books and children’s picturebooks, placing emphasis on the experiential qualities of the physical book. Most of the academic literature on the relationship between artists’ books and children’s picturebooks focuses on the finished book. Taking a practice‐based perspective, I approached this project as a book artist and explored my attempts to make a children’s picturebook. My analysis of the creation of a series of books contextualised with a discussion of literature on artists’ books and children’s picturebooks led to an investigation of the structures of children's picturebooks and the ways in which it overlaps with artists’ books. As a book artist, I had not anticipated my use of the book form to present significant creative challenges. However, the picturebook form imposed a more direct story than I would usually work with when creating artist’s books; new ways of using the book form emerged. My depictions of narrative became more figurative and my use of the book form took on greater subtlety. A key outcome of this research was a discussion from the book artist’s perspective of the process of creating a children's picturebook. An analysis of my practical work demonstrated the possibility of taking an interdisciplinary approach as a way for practitioners to discuss work in progress and finished work, offering insights into the process of both creating and interpreting practical work while investigating the relationship between artists’ books and children’s picturebooks.

Socioeconomic status (SES) influences many aspects of a person's life, and stereotypes concerning level of SES and the domain of creativity exist. It was hypothesized that children classified as low SES would perform more creatively in the visual arts and language arts domains of creativity than in the mathematic and scientific domains.

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics<br>While working as an intern for the social enterprise Book a Street Artist, I was responsible for implementing an internationalization plan. Due to the lack of information about how social enterprises internationalize, a three-plus-two step structure has been developed and applied to the enterprise. This work demonstrates that to precisely scale up social impact, the actual implementation of social enterprises´ internationalization should be done in a rapid, not necessarily systematic manner. Therefore, the best way to internationalize is based on an implementation strategy which is suited to the enterprises´ actual market conditions and its business model.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>A ideia central da pesquisa foi promover uma aproximação das narrativas visuais de Getúlio Damado e Roger Mello e a partir daí evidenciar os processos cognitivos e as estratégias que envolveram a estruturação de suas identidades sociais e linguagens artísticas contemporâneas, bem como destacar o ludismo e o acesso ao universo da infância e a cultura popular que ambos ressignificam em suas obras. Além disso, buscou-se comentar e avaliar momentos específicos de desprestígio e repúdio versus consagração ocorridos com os artistas. Para tal, essas produções foram contextualizadas como produções culturais em constante processo de mutação, do qual participam tanto eventos históricos como de inovação tecnológica, em contínua construção. Essas linguagens estão submetidas a uma grande velocidade e a superposição de influências. Outro ponto destacado nas analises foi o caráter de subjetividade dessas produções, identificadas como práticas estéticas promotoras de transformação política; de mobilização; ou também por sua capacidade de operar com o uso simbólico dos brinquedos e livros infantojuvenis recuperando-lhes o uso original. Os devaneios, o ludismo infantil e a cultura popular presentes nos objetos feitos de sucata e livros ilustrados foram confrontados com práticas consoantes, ou de discursos abrangentes, correntes no mundo da arte ou outras vezes aproximados de enfoques locais. Além da possibilidade de convergência entre as produções foram destacadas também muitas diferenças, e, sobretudo evidenciadas as potencialidades que podem advir da cultura popular como campo exploratório de pesquisa, bem como de sua ressignificação<br>The central idea of the research was to reconcile the visual narratives of Getúlio Damado and Roger Mello and henceforth to highlight the cognitive processes and strategies involved in structuring their social identities and contemporary artistic languages, as well as to emphasize the playfulness, and access to the universe of childhood and popular culture to reframe both their works. Additionally, this paper tried to comment and evaluate specific moments of prestige and repudiation versus consecration occurred with these artists. To this end, these productions were contextualized as cultural productions in a constant process of mutation, which involved both historical events and technological innovation in continuous construction. These languages are subjected to a high speed and overlapping influences. Another point emphasized in the analysis was the character of subjectivity of these productions, aesthetic practices identified as promoters of political transformation, mobilization, or also by its ability to operate with the symbolic use of toys and childrens books recovering their original use.. Daydreams, the childish playfulness and the popular culture present in those objects made of waste and illustrated books were confronted with consonant practices or embracing speeches, currents in the world of art or sometimes familiar to local approaches. Besides the possibility of convergence between the productions of the two artists, the research also spotted many differences, and pointed out particularly the potentiality that can come from popular culture as an exploratory field of research, as well as its redefinition

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis entails an explorative and argumentative
study that is concerned with the importance
and relevance of artist books, as substantiated
by art-historical research into the way in
which people present, organize and interpret
knowledge about their world as observed in
the history of the ever-evolving book; as well as
related critical and theoretical discussions surrounding
language and art.
The structure of the thesis is based on the
triadic treatment of book types as presented in
philosophers Deleuze and Guattari’s theory of
the Rhizome in A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism
and Schizophrenia (1987). Each book essentially
stands for a particular system or paradigm
of thought that is described in terms of a biological
structure. These are the Root book, the
Fascicular book and the Rhizome. The root and
fascicular structures are shown to be ubiquitous
within dominant Western habits of thought,
emphasised by the tendency to organize elements
around a singular, central motif and, as
a result, to create binaries. Although useful for
certain practices in life, these patterns of thought
have potentially problematic socio-political implications,
and they are especially limiting with
regards to creative work. An argument is developed
in defence of the third book type, the rhizome,
as a means of thinking in a non-linear, acentred
and more complex and connected way
about art, oneself and one’s world. At its core,
this thesis works towards establishing a theoretical
framework for the practice of artist books,
showing how, in numerous ways, artist books
encompass this rhizomatic way of thinking.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis omvat ’n verkennende en argumentatiewe
studie wat gemoeid is met die belang
en relevansie van kunstenaarsboeke, soos
gestaaf deur kunsgeskiedkundige navorsing oor
die maniere waarop mense kennis aanbied, organiseer
en vertolk, soos dit in die geskiedenis
van die altyd-veranderende boek gesien word.
Die tesis sluit ook verwante kritiese en teoretiese
besprekings rondom taal en kuns in.
Die struktuur van die tesis gebruik as basis
die drievoudige indeling van boektipes in die
*losowe Deleuze en Guattari se teorie van die
Risoom in hulle werk A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism
and Schizophrenia (1987). Elke boek verteenwoordig
in essensie ’n bepaalde sisteem of
paradigma van denke wat in terme van ’n biologiese
struktuur beskryf word. Die drie tipes is
die Wortelboek, die Fassikulêre of Trosboek, en
die Risoom. Die wortel- en trosstrukture word
uitgewys as alomteenwoordig binne dominante
Westerse denkgewoontes, waar dit beklemtoon
word deur die geneigdheid om elemente rondom
’n enkele sentrale motief te organiseer, en
sodoende binêre opposisies te vorm. Alhoewel
dit nuttig mag wees vir sekere lewenspraktyke,
hou hierdie denkpatrone potensieel problematiese
sosio-politiese implikasies in, en hulle is
besonder beperkend vir kreatiewe werk. Die tesis
ontwikkel verder ’n argument ter verdediging
van die derde boektipe, die risoom, as ’n
wyse om op ’n nie-lineêre, a-sentriese en meer
komplekse en verbonde manier oor kuns, die
self en die wêreld te dink. Die kern van die tesis
is gemoeid met die vestiging van ’n teoretiese
raamwerk vir die praktyk van kunstenaarsboeke,
en dit wys hoe kunstenaarsboeke op velerlei
maniere die risomatiese wyse van denke omvat.

Full textAbstract:
Investigations in Botanical Contact Printing (Where the Light Meets the Trees; Thirteen Variations) explores the process of botanical contact printing on paper, culminating in a series of thirteen handmade artist books. Each of the thirteen books contains a poem from a collection of thirteen poems written by Alice Yousef. Every element of the book: materials, structure, calligraphed text, type of botanical contact print, sometimes the enclosure, responds to the poem, providing a visual interpretation of the written word. The completely different approaches to binding structure in this series intend to not only visually support the text, but also explore the possibilities of botanical contact print imagery in the book form.

Full textAbstract:
Today, urban children are spending time indoors more than ever before and getting away from phenomenas of the outdoor world, which creates a big concern on how they develop their senses and get physical exercise. The tools, games and devices they interact with are preventing their imagination rather than sparking, by making kids consume content rather than asking for their participation. Peek transforms the outside into an imaginary playground for children, where interacting with the natural world takes the focus and the child’s simple acts and explorations can turn into their own stories. It is an expressive digital tool that invites children to explore the outside, capture audio and visual snippets, and build stories around them. It comes together with a physical book which triggers child’s imagination through guided explorations and allows the child to keep the stories they created. The result is a play experience designed for children aged between 5 and 8 years old.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO<br>Esta dissertação discute o hibridismo presente nos livros-objeto infantis contemporâneos, na tentativa de evidenciar como os fundamentos da natureza híbrida da linguagem do Design e a experiência intersemiótica revelam-se como interações presentes em enredos multissensoriais, expandindo as narrativas encontradas no livro-objeto infantil. O olhar sobre o ato de ler não se restringe à decifração de letras grafadas em qualquer que seja o suporte, mas se expande para a absorção das representatividades
estabelecidas. O design de livros influencia a leitura não apenas em aspectos funcionais, mas também simbólicos e, por isso, pode ser considerado um mediador de leitura, que conduz o leitor em sua jornada. A dissertação apresenta a leitura de dois livros-objeto infantis selecionados nas obras de Kveta Pacovská e Roger Mello, designers/ilustradores/ artistas plásticos reconhecidos internacionalmente com o prêmio Hans Christian Andersen. Buscou-se verificar os processos com os quais são ativadas e ampliadas as suas histórias no hibridismo dos processos narrativos. Para isso, a dissertação se apoiou na concepção do híbrido como categoria analítica proposta por Braida (2012).<br>This thesis discusses the hybridism in the contemporary children s Object Books, in an attempt to elucidate how the hybrid nature of the design language and of the intersemiotic experience, reveal the interactions in the multisensory stories, expanding the narratives found in children s Object Books. A look at the act of reading is not restricted to the deciphering of written letters – in whatever sort of support, but in the absorption of established representativeness. Book design influences that reading, not only in functional aspects, but also in symbolic ones, and that is why it can be considered as a reading-mediator, driving the reader through his journey. The thesis presents the reading of two children s object-books chosen from the works from Kveta Pacovská and Roger Mello, both internationally recognized designers/illustrators and plastic artists awarded with the Hans Christian Andersen prize. In these books, the progress from which the histories were activated and amplified in the hybridism of the narrative process was accounted. The theses is based on the notion of hybrid as an analytical category as proposed by Braida (2012).

The problem for the study was to investigate possible systematic semantic variation in linguistic interaction associated with social class locations of speakers, and relations between any such variants and features of interaction in joint book-reading in Kindergarten. -- A preliminary survey of 427 families in two sociogeographically contrasted sites established that joint book-reading was a common social practice, and gave sufficient indications of variation to justify an intensive socio-semantic study. Two sets of ten mother-child dyads, contrasted for class locations using Bernstein's (1990) theory of class relations, were constructed and recordings of joint book-reading sessions made by mothers. Recordings of interaction in two sets of ten Kindergarten classes in the same socio-geographical areas were made by teachers. -- Vygotsky's theory of semiotic mediation was the general resource used for interpreting children's learning, but it was necessary to resolve problems in the theory in the modelling of contexts for learning, and of mediational means. For this purpose the systemic functional linguistic concept of context of situation, as proposed by Halliday (1978) and expanded by Hasan (in press (a)), was deployed. -- Transcripts of recordings were analysed through a semantic network developed for the study, based on a network proposed by Hasan (1983). -- Semantic variation associated with class locations of families was found across all four metafunctions described within systemic theory, and one variant found to be associated with Kindergarten classroom interaction. The variable semantic features were interpreted as the realization of different principles regulating the individuation of experience, using Bernstein's theories of coding orientation and pedagogic discourse.<br>Mode of access: World Wide Web.<br>2 parts (373, 539 p.) ill

Full textAbstract:
The thesis is in two parts: the first is an empirical and philosophical investigation of children's drawing practices, with particular reference to an interpretation of the work of Georges-Henri Luquet 1876 – 1965. Luquet's work is interrogated first by additional empirical evidence, and second by drawing philosophical resources from both Bergson, and from the phenomenological tradition. The second part of this thesis is a body of work, which explores types of process (some of which are derived from observations of children's processes), through experimentation in my own Fine Art practice; and reflection upon its development and significance is found throughout the written thesis, but especially in Chapter 3. Additional empirical evidence, documentation, and papers on both parts, are found in the Appendix and in an exhibition timed to coincide with the doctoral examination. The first chapter both presents and critically examines the elements Luquet identified of 'intention', 'interpretation', 'the type', 'the internal model' and 'predilection' in relation to attention and intentionality. Luquet's analysis and observations will be used to construct an initial model of process, which is critically re-examined and expanded in Chapter 2 through a historical revision of process in Fine Art and analyses of material made by children spontaneously and without instruction using found materials. Chapter 3 is comprised of a series of reflections on series in my own practice, and experiments derived from the taxonomy of processes constructed from analysis of the material presented in Chapter 2. It raises questions about the nature of certain types of intuition and attention, which are then discussed in Chapter 4 through examining the relation between attention and intentionality, and 'categorical intuition' as defined by Husserl. Luquet's term Circumspection will be compared with Heidegger's use of the term (Umsicht),in Being and Time, and reference will be made to the later development of Heidegger's thought in 'The Origin of the Work of Art', in particular the concepts of Ereignis and Gelassenheit. A fully revised model of process is proposed at the end of Chapter 4. It will be argued that the questions raised can only be answered if at all, through our embodied relation with the world via late Husserl, and Merleau-Ponty's concepts of operative intentionality; the practical cogito; and the pre-cognitive realm. The Conclusion presents the findings of the enquiry, what Phenomenology has brought to it, and directions for future research.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of reading aloud nonfiction science trade books on the attitudes toward science and the book selection habits of students in the elementary classroom. Gender differences among attitude and book selection were also explored.The school district chosen as the site for the research was located in a small Midwestern town with a population of about 32,000. The community consisted of people with diverse socioeconomic status and cultural backgrounds. Four teachers and 73 third grade students participated in the study. Complete data was available for 60 students.The four classrooms were randomly divided into two groups, those listening to science nonfiction trade books for twenty minutes each day for six weeks and those listening to nonscience books for twenty minutes each day for six weeks. An attitudinal survey was administered at the beginning and the end of the study. The percentage of science books versus other types of books was monitored for the six week period.The analysis of data revealed that students who were read the science nonfiction books chose a greater percentage of science books when checking out books from the library than did the students who were read nonscience books. There was no difference in the percentage of books selected by girls compared with those selected by boys. Results also showed a very slight increase in positive attitude toward science as a result of listening to science books during read-aloud sessions. There was no significant difference in the attitudes of the girls compared to the boys who were read science books.<br>Department of Elementary Education

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Comparative Media Studies, February 2004.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 61-64).<br>This text explores three developments pertaining to children and reading in seventeenth-century England. The author aims to show how profoundly death was implicated in the development of thought about children's reading as well as in the emergence of a literature for children in the early modem period. The first chapter discusses the negative reaction to the growing phenomenon of children reading romances and adventures in chapbook form. Escapist literature was believed to make one forget one's mortal lot, which in turn decreased one's motivation for piety. Through a discussion of the threat chapbook romances posed to pious reading, the chapter establishes the historical context for a related development, the creation of a religious or moralizing literature that children would find compelling. In their quest for gripping settings, authors latched on to the deathbed scene for its felicitous blend of inherent theatricality and religious resonance. By early seventeenth century, a few women writers even used the pretext of deathbed advice to pen their own conduct-of-life manuals in an otherwise male-dominated marketplace. The second chapter discusses the prefatory rhetoric used by the two most successful female writers in this genre. The remarkable success of maternal deathbed advice literature suggests that books in Protestant culture absorbed the near-superstitious value of Catholic icons and relics. The genre also implies a Protestant adaptation of the Catholic veneration of the mother. Comfort for the motherless child no longer came from prayer to Mary, but through the reading (and perhaps holding of) a book of advice by a model (and dead) Protestant mother. An analysis of the prefaces enables a close reading of the self-fashioning<br>of model mother-authors. The third and final chapter discusses the starring role of death in the first English-language children's book, A Token for Children, by James Janeway. The chapter explores the literary interest in the early deaths of ordinary children of extraordinary piety. By reference to the doctrine of predestination, the author speculates that these books had a comforting as well as a preparatory function, allowing parents and children to rehearse (through reading) a model death of a child undoubtedly bound for Heaven. By no means a comprehensive treatment of the connections between death culture and children's reading in the early modern period, the thesis is intended to indicate how pious reading functioned as a reminder of one's mortality and a spur to self-scrutiny. The "looking glass" of the text displayed idealized and heaven-bound children and parents compared to whom the reader may have felt sorely in need of increased vigilance.<br>by Heather Miller.<br>S.M.

I call dialectic of space, this movement of interpenetration that is given from the look, and that runs through, as a concept and problem to be solved in the image environment, all the works presented here. The dialectical relationship between the near and the distant present in the preparation of images, combined with employed materiality and its apparent tactility, and the work of resorting to personal memories, family and finally, the memories of the matter of their own works, gives birth to permeable images that formulates landscape.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the complex interplay between textuality and bodily performance by tracing their development within these two novels. Both texts are fundamentally concerned with the body and its interaction with a dominant culture. Often, the corporeal frame is posited as a physical text in which the social mores, cultural ideologies, and historical framework of a character's society are expressed through the bodies of its citizenry. However, both protagonists struggle to achieve an autonomous subject position outside the realm of the dominant culture, with varying degrees of success. At the end of Midnight's Children, Rushdie subverts the body's position as authoritative text by aligning the voice of record with textual production. Conversely, DeLillo's protagonist refutes the ability of linguistic representation to adequately convey her pathos, and instead utilizes her body art as the most effective means of communicating the atmosphere of alienation and fear which characterizes the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.<br>Department of English

The researcher used five steps of art appreciation teaching: explain, describe, experience, share and compare, to carry out a two-month picture books appreciation instruction for the young children aged 4 to 6 years old. Eight of 6-year-old children were selected to participate pre and post-test, in order to understand children's perception of artistic styles and researchers' teaching effectiveness. The study results showed that picture books appreciation teaching could improve children's perception of artistic styles. However, the perception had individual differences. In addition, the picture books appreciation instruction also affected children in the other learning domains, and also enhanced researcher's teaching skills.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>世新大學<br>圖文傳播暨數位出版學研究所(含碩專班)<br>98<br>The reason why a picture book is so fascinating is because that it is made with colorful, lively and easily understood words, which brings a world of inspiring and unlimited imagination to children. Picture books play an extremely important role during children’s early grow-up time. Beside the exceptional creative ability of the author to tell an appealing story, to attract the attention of children, the most important thing is making great efforts on the arrangement and design of book page layouts, especially “book cover”, for it is the first contact the children make with a picture book. If the children could fall in love with the picture book at first sight, willing to read it again and again, this picture book must be a very successful, impressive publication.
Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the basic elements which compose a picture book. By adopting content analysis, and experimental design and analysis, I try to find the best way to design a picture book, that is, how can we arrange the basic elements of a picture book— page layouts, style of fonts and size of books—to make children fall in love with it. After considering all the variables, I discuss how children value a picture book overall—by cover designing, legibility, and/or fascination the book has to offer, and I hope that the authors would find following conclusions useful when composing picture books for children:
(1) Warm colors on the book cover are more effective than cool colors and pure black and white, while pure black and white is more acceptable than cool colors.
(2) Printed fonts are better than artistic hand-writing, irrespective of the color of drawings on the book covers.
(3) Horizontal text direction is more effective than vertical one, irrespective of the color of book covers: warm , cool, or pure black and white.
(4) Ordered by reading preference, three most favored drawings are all composed of warm colors; three least favored ones are all of cool colors.
(5) The result of this research shows that book covers with the combination of “warm color, horizontal text direction and printed fonts” (as independent variables) are children’s favorite.

The purpose of this study is to understand the narrative content from the wordless picture book “Snowman” and “ Don` t forget me, father christmas”, and the narrative performance by children constructing this two wordless picture book. This study adopts the narrative structure in wordless picture book by Ho(2004) to analyze the text of this two wordless books. According to the seven story grammar proposed by Stein and Glenn (1979) to analyze the children`s narrative performance. The conclusion as follow:
1. Narrative element that exists in the “setting”
As we can find the content of the narrative performance by children, children don’t mind nor care the setting and time should be involved in the story, but the description of the character would definitely be in their narrative.
2.Trigger of the “initiating events”
Children won’t be limited by the pictures in the book when they’re trying to construct its meaning. But they sure can connect the partial story from the beginning to the end with reasonable structure accordingly.
3.Performing of the “internal response”
In this matter, children always use the method of providing dialogue to achieve the goal of expressing their own words.
4.”Beginning” and the last result of the “Attempts”
When children are constructing, they’re easily to put more attention on the gesture of the main characters, thought the description of the gestures and action, pictures and images can productively combine together. But it’s different from picture in the list of movement that caused by the performances of direct consequences.
5.Judgment for the “Reactions”
Children all have reaction to these two wordless picture book’s narrative performance. Children tend to have more feeling description to ”Snowman”, and more emotional description to “Don` t forget me, father christmas ”.
6.The links of Narrative event
Children usually use “then” and “afterwards” to connect between sentences.

We will use one children’s picture book, namely “I have not”, written by the researcher, as the sample book to demonstrate the whole creation process. To do this, we use the Flash5 software to implement the story of animation version based on the sample book, and then publish it on the network as one Internet Child Book.
The creation process is divided into three phases. In the first phase, we scan the sample book and put those pictures on the web to get comments back from children readers. In the second phase, we accomplish two versions of animation files based on the story of the sample book. One is created by a participant independently, and the other one is created according to the comments given by children. In the third phase, these three versions of the sample book are put on the network for comments. We will collect and analyze the comments. We found that, children participating in the creation of a network child book can help us promote the result.
Our conclusions may give the publishers a different point of view on publishing.

order to organize these essays, I used the eight trigrams, or universal elements,
found in the ancient Chinese I Ching, Book of Changes. They are: Heaven,
Thunder, Water, Mountain, Earth, Wind, Fire, and Lake. One by one, I interpreted
each element in an effort to create a transformation narrative, my own Book of
Changes. Despite the chaos of my real story, the universal elements offered a
grounding for each essay. Each essay illustrates my survival as a woman and as a

Full textAbstract:
The target of my dissertation is to draw the character of the graphical works created by Jan Jiří Balzer which are kept in the collections of the National gallery in Prague. The resource of the graphical works of J. J. Balzer according to Norbert Grund includes more than five hundred and fifty items which remained almost non-elaborated. That's why, I would try to sort out and catalogue them. Beyond my dissertation, I would like to introduce a personality of the contemporary artist who is at the time the founder of an engraving plant and a successful businessman - who managed to interest the Czech graphical market of the second half of the 18-th century. As well as, I try to clarify, on base of the critical studying of available sources and literature, the circumstances which lead the artist to the graphical performance of the Norbert Grund's painting works. And last but not least I would like to outline the production of Jan Jiří Balzer in context of the contemporary creation and collecting of the 18-th century.
