[Siguse-l] Dynamic Workshop on Illustrations in Literature Offered by Maryland’s iSchool

[Ischool UMD]

The Professional Education program at the University of Maryland’s iSchool
invites children’s and school librarians and K-12 teachers to participate
in a one-day, in-person workshop entitled *An Educated Eye: Looking at
Picture Books (and Other Images)*.



Participants will work with leading children’s literature expert, Maria
Salvadore, to gain a better understanding of how illustration and other
visual images convey meaning. By examining illustrations and other images
that appear in various media, participants will leave this workshop with
the ability to identify and evaluate picture books (and illustration in
general) that are appropriate for different age children from the very
young to adolescents.



At the completion of the workshop, participants will receive a Certificate
of Completion from the University of Maryland’s Office of Extended Studies
and earn six (6) contact hours of continuing education units (CEUs).



*About the Instructor*



Maria Salvadore has served on and chaired various book award committees,
including the Washington Post/Children’s Book Guild Nonfiction Award, the
Boston Globe/Horn Book Awards, and the Caldecott Committee. As an adjunct
faculty member at the University of Maryland, a reviewer for *School
Library Journal *and Capitol Choices, and a former member of ALA’s Notable
