Program Description
Melanie Hope Greenberg is an author and a widely published illustrator of 17 trade published picture books. Greenberg’s visual interactive workshops are best suited for K through 5th Grade. The workshops include the process of picture book creation in very simple language to suit each grade level. Greenberg’s colorful visual programs show how words and text come together, and who works behind the scenes with an author as a publishing team. Students realize how their unique visions can be realized using enjoyable research and creating first drafts, storyboards, then final text and artwork for publication. Students will “see” how an author writes visually using pacing and narrative arc; what revisions look like; how the illustrator creates deeper layers of the text through color, composition, and characters. What stays in and what gets the cut by the time a book lands on the bookshelf. The author's picture books tie into the social studies, visual, and language arts curriculums; and show the how an author’s real life, non- fiction experiences can be fictionalized in a picture book. MERMAIDS ON PARADE was selected by Brooklyn Public Library for their ‘125 Essential Brooklyn Booklist’ and featured at the Center for Brooklyn History. Student interactive participation is encouraged. Reading, Drawing, Q&A. Maximum 4 sessions a day. Teacher guides available with discussion questions, coloring pages, prompts, and extension activities.
