Reader1 \\ BLOCK5 \\ Words and Picture
Introduction:
· Children's literature is not appreciable and
unintelligible without attention to its illustration.
· Images in children's books vary in both style and function:
-
Decorative in "illustrated books"
-
Visual narrative in "picturebook" = words and images have equally important roles.
· The nineteenth century is the Golden Age of children's
illustration field.
-
The period's technological
advances bringing the advent of lithography which led to full-colour
reproduction.
-
It supplied a larger
potential readership in the shape of a population much more widely
schooled.
-
With these two concurrent
developments began the emergence of genuine marketing possibilities for illustrated
children's books.
· Picture books are loved by
both children and adults, but attitudes
towards pictures in books per
se for children are not universally positive.
-
While many parents and
educators see the images as a way of increasing the attractiveness of
books to children, and thereby developing both literacy and a love
story, some feel that images distract from the verbal text and
may impede the development of fluent and confident reading in children.
