This study aimed to perform a case study of the artworks colored using mixed media by applying qualitative methods. The teacher and the students wrote the story and completed the storyboard through interactive discussion teaching. With the knowledge of the properties of current painting papers and media used for coloring, the teacher was able to guide the students to choose paper of better quality, and select proper mixed media to create their artworks, so that the picture book could be richer and more delicate. Furthermore, documentary analysis was performed with current documents related to picture books to provide the students references for their artworks. Finally, the students were guided to process their graphs and arrange the layout using computer software, to complete a picture book artwork colored using mixed media by both hand-drawing and computer graphing and this study.

The learning topic of this study was the creative designs of picture books in the basic design curriculum. The research subjects were the students from the Department of Commercial Design of a technology university. Hand drawings were combined with computer graphics to perform the image art designs using mixed media of innovative technology, to explore the achievements of applying the innovative technology methods in aesthetics education. During the process of creating works, the teachers and the students had continuously discussed and made modifications. Finally, the students were asked to present their works through oral presentations. The scores were given by two professional design teachers. Among all the works, the picture book titled Lop was the one with the best performance. The story was that the leading characters ears were too long, causing a lot of inconvenience. He was even mocked at by his friends. Thus, he hated his own ears a lot. However, in an accident, he unexpectedly found the advantage of his lop ears and learned to accept himself.

This study aimed to use mixed media as paint, through case study with interactive discussion teaching method between the teacher and the students, to plan for and design a storyboard as the script. Current papers used for painting and characteristics of mixed media paint were introduced to the students to help them choose papers and mixed media according to their own specialties, so that they could come up with a picture book with richer and more delicate content. Furthermore, documentary analysis was conducted with current documents related to picture book creation in order to provide students references for their creation. Finally, the students were guided to use computer graphing software to edit the scanned hand-drawings and perform typesetting. Eventually, the art creation of a picture book with both hand-drawing and computer graphing was completed.

A case study was conducted to explore the mixed media creative artwork, a picture book hand-drawn by an 8-year old child. First, the documentary analysis of materials related to children's picture books was conducted to understand the features of materials and the essence of stories. After rounds of discussion teaching, the parents guided the author to create a story, characters, items, and sets, and to arrange colors. This process took 6 months. 14 hand-drawn works were completed. Then those drawings were scanned with Photoshop and the layout was arranged with Adobe Illustrator. Finally, discussions of the problems encountered during the process of creation were conducted and suggestions were proposed.

In this study, the two teachers adopted the cross-school team teaching method to guide the groups of the fourth-grade students from the Department of Commercial Design of a Technology University in Central Taiwan with their graduation design projects. The focus of this study was the team with an adult picture book as the topic. The idea of the story was from city news regarding murders for insurance fraud. An ocelot was used as a metaphor for a criminal with cruel behaviors of getting easy money through illegal measures. The initial images were hand-drawings. They were then colored using mixed media.

Bryant, Jen. The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus. Illus. M. Sweet. Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans Books for Young Readers. 2014. Print.Although it is difficult to find the ‘right word’ to describe this book, thanks to Peter Roget, it is much easier … exceptional, marvelous, superb, pleasing, or wonderful. Jen Bryant and Melissa Sweet have teamed up to write their third picture book biography, this time about Peter Mark Roget and the journey that culminated with the publication of his Thesaurus.The story takes us through the life of Peter Roget, from a shy and lonely child to a successful doctor. Peter discovered as a child that books made good friends, and he developed a love of words. Throughout his life and experiences, Peter organized words into lists, enabling him to find the right words when he needed them. With the encouragement of his children much later in life, Peter spent three more years finalizing and organizing his many lists. In 1852, his Thesaurus was published.Complimenting this story is a visual experience comprised of a collage of paintings and mixed media. The effect is entrancing, giving the eye so many wonderful treasures to discover to go along with the text. While the magic of getting the answer to a question you did not know you had may be lost on children who have never seen a Roget’s Thesaurus, it is still a delightful book. Younger children will connect with one of the many aspects of Peter’s life growing up and the wide array of illustrations. Older children will connect with deeper themes, and pour over the many facets of the mixed media illustrations. And don’t miss the timeline, author’s note, and illustrator’s note at the end!As soon as I finished the book, I immediately turned to the beginning to read through again and see what I might discover the second time through.Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 stars Reviewer: Cindy JacksonCindy loved to read to her children as they were growing up, and now continues to impart her love of stories as a teacher with her grade six students. One of Cindy’s claims to fame is her daughter, who now carries on the tradition of storytelling with HER grade two students! Cindy is currently working on her Masters at the University of Alberta, focusing on language and literacy.
