Task
Using the web, research and present a case study about John Klassen. The contents of the case study, written below, get more difficult as they progress. Complete as many as you can.
1. Biography - Include a few images from the illustrator and some interesting biographical information. (Read, digest and then write your findings. Do not copy and paste information from the web.) Describe the sort of work that he does and where his work can be seen. Get a picture of Jon Klassen, a map of where he lives etc etc.
2. Take a number of typical examples and write about why they are characteristic of the illustrator's style.
3. Research to see if you can find which other designers and artists the Klassen has been influenced by. You may have to read an interview to find this information.
4. Consider the context. Find other designers that were working at the same time?
5. Using photos / drawings that you created yourself or images from the web, emulate the style of the designer that you are researching and create a version or your own. If you have already done one, maybe copy a piece of work.
