Go Back to Your Childhood at Strathmore's Book Illustration Exhibition

7/20/2016

Even if you are a grown up, I urge you to stop by Strathmore Mansion in Rockville, MD, to stroll through the lovely building and to admire wonderfully delightful selection of children's book illustrations. The show, on display until July 31, 2016, is called "Turning the Page" and it will take you right back to your childhood. 

I live a short walk away from Strathmore Mansion so their exhibitions are pretty much obligatory to me. And I have seen many. But this one is truly lovely. The exhibition features local artists as well as artworks from the Mazza Museum of the University of Findlay in Ohio.

In addition to award-winning illustrations, you (and your children) will enjoy items inspired by the wonderful stories and even sit down at a reading corner and flip through pages of the books on display! What a fun afternoon activity. 

Book illustration is a great artistic endeavor - I find particular magic in an artists ability to read a story, internalize it, and then capturing its essence through drawing. This exhibition even has illustrations that incorporate actual items, e.g., leaves and sticks and fabric remnants. ​

Make a trip to Strathmore Mansion and I promise you will be charmed by the exhibition and the many wonderful and creative ways a story can be captured through art.
