Then, choose a children's book that you like and use the story (particularly an illustration from one point in the story) to abstract using ideas from Molly Bang's book. Think about how to express your story using just the elements of art (line, shape, color, value, form, texture, space) and principles of design (balance, rhythm, repetition, harmony, movement, contrast, variety, unity, proportion).
Your abstraction of the illustration should take up at least 1 page in your sketchbook and include color. Please bring in the original book to share alongside your own version when we meet again on January 26th.
