"CHILDREN'S BOOK ILLUSTRATION & DESIGN" BY DAVE NEUHAUS
The Scotch Plains and Fanwood Arts Association meeting will be held on Thursday, November 18th from 7 – 9 p.m. at the Patricia M. Kuran Cultural Arts Center, Watson Road, Fanwood. A brief business meeting will be followed by a program on Children's Book Illustration & Design by author/illustrator David Neuhaus.
David studied graphic design at the Philadelphia College of Art and received a BFA in Illustration from Parsons School of Design, where he learned the "craft" of children's book illustration from Caldecott Honor award recipients Robert Andrew Parker and the late James Marshall. Since then, he has illustrated twenty books for children, and has created many illustrations for various children's publications. He has worked as a senior designer or art director for several children's publishing companies including Simon and Schuster, Reader's Digest, Morrow Jr. Books, Lee & Low Books, Scholastic and HarperCollins Children's Books. Neuhaus and his wife, Susan, run NeuStudio, Inc. a graphic design studio located in Fanwood, NJ, where they concentrate on children's book illustration, art direction, and design.
Dave will give a presentation on children's book illustration and design, and will display samples of his work as well as the work of others to show the range of art in children's publishing. He'll have copies of books that he and his wife have designed at their home studio and will do a demonstration of how he applies dye washes to line art in his work. His design portfolio can be seen on his website: www.neustudio.com
All of our meetings, demonstrations, and workshops are free and open to the public. So please join us on Thursday, November 18th from 7 – 9 p.m. for Children's Book Illustration, a program by David Neuhaus at the Patricia M. Kuran Cultural Arts Center, which is located on the grounds of Fanwood's Borough Hall, facing Watson Road, Fanwood.
