Illustration for Children’s Books is a comprehensive course in the art of book illustration. Welcome to the wonderful world of children’s books! This can be a rewarding career or simply a way to make a special memento for your family . . . or both. In these two weekends we will learn about book design, page layout, character development, and the foundation for interpreting a story. Students will look at assorted styles of illustration from which they will develop their own unique characters and designs. In this class we will complete a rough draft of a 32-page children’s book, then move on to a finished portfolio-ready illustration. Prior drawing experience is helpful but not necessary depending on the story you are illustrating. Materials: Bring the supplies you will need for the first class: drawing pad, pencils, erasers, and sharpener. You may bring in anything you want to illustrate; a poem, a fairy tale, a short story, a biography of a special person, whatever you like and whatever gives you the opportunity to draw and paint the images you want. We will cover different media as the class progresses. For more information visit: ljathenaeum.org Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram

All concerts are Sundays at 2:30 p.m., and include an intermission for a total length of under two hours. Each creative program will also include informative and entertaining commentary between selections from noted UC Santa Barbara musicologist Derek Katz. The Hausmann Quartet would like to recognize the support of pH Projects, The Conrad Prebys Foundation and the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture. KPBS is the exclusive media sponsor. The study in contrasts that is September’s program will feature the first performance of a work by Johannes Brahms on the Haydn Voyages series, as his final string quartet (opus 67) anchors a program filled with exciting variety, a characteristic we’ve come to expect and appreciate in Haydn’s work; his opus 55, no. 3 on this program certainly offers its share. The afternoon will open with This is It, a 2023 work by Reena Esmail in which she asks “asks the musicians to explore being present with one another…Each movement opens up a tiny, mutually created universe for just a few precious breaths.” Visit: Haydn Voyages Maritime Museum of San Diego on Instagram and Facebook
