Illustrating: from storyboard to picture book
Kunstenaar-coach: Jan De Kinder
Visual studio
Atelier in Dutch
How do you translate your story into images? What about the text with that? The interaction between image and word? What do you tell, what not? How do you allow the unconscious and chance into your story?
We experiment with different drawing techniques and test our limits. The emphasis is on creating and less on finished results. In this way we try to arrive at a storyboard and a number of isolated illustrations for a picture book. We work analogously. The pleasure of drawing and writing is always paramount. Drawing experience is not necessary, authenticity and the desire to dare to draw are.

Jan De Kinder made his debut as a writer in 2002 with the picture book Mathilde. Since then, his work has been published in 18 languages. For the picture book 'Red' he was selected for 'The Original Art', by the US Society of Illustrators as one of the 'best children's books of 2015'. The book was picked up worldwide. Together with Stefan Perceval (HETGEVOLG) he adapted Rood into a successful theater performance. His latest book 'My grandma' was nominated for the Reading Jury, the Bratislava Biennale and the Boon for children's and youth literature. Now he is touring with the circus show 'Ondersteboven'. He made this performance together with his daughter Marth and with Piet Van Dycke as director.
