Artful Alphabets: Five Picture Book Artists
Saturday October 22, 2011 from 10:30am - 5:00pm
Art Institute of Chicago
122 S Michigan Ave
Chicago, Illinois 60603 Get Directions
Illustrator Mordicai Gerstein sees sculptural letters formed out of creatures. Chris Raschka portrays a man and his cat in an alphabet adventure. Mary Thelen's colorful pictures of shapes and lines illustrate a toe-tapping text, while Stacy Innerst explores the world of music from A to Z in paintings on board and tin. Hand-colored woodblock prints by Mary Azarian explore the garden theme and expand vocabulary with word and picture. All of these artists prove that are as many artful ways to illustrate the ABCs as there are ways to see the world. An entire alphabet soup of drawings, paintings, prints, and collages is on view in the Vitale Family Room in the Ryan Education Center. Along with these original illustrations are a variety of ABC books for visitors of all ages to share. Get inspired and design your own alphabet letters, or fire up your imaginations and see how many letters you can find in the world around you.
