History of illustration for children

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The UC History of Illustration for Children is linked to Option 4. Extends the development of content following the UC Sequential image. Its focus is on narrative content, specifically applied to the illustrated album and to animations aimed at children. Education through art and the relationship with children's communities is fundamental in the healthy development of societies and, therefore, this is a UC that aims to develop this sensitivity in students. This UC articulates theoretical and historical information regarding fictional and non-fictional illustrative practices dedicated to childhood with other exploratory, technical, creative and highly experimental UC’s that base the playful dimension on concepts of sequencing, seriality, cause-consequence and construction of plastic and graphic scope.
