The history and art of illustration : a series of units for upper elementary students : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This work discusses three categories of illustration: decorative, technical, and narrative. In addition to a study of the history of each of these categories, examples of different illustrations are given, along with information about materials and techniques employed by illustrators. The last section of this work is comprised of three units of discipline-based art education lesson plans devoted to the three categories of illustration. Finally, the units are tied together by a concluding lesson in which the three categories of illustration are unified.
