Children’s book illustration students’ work on display at Anglia Ruskin University
An exhibition of work from students on the MA course in children’s book illustration at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) is on show in the university’s Ruskin Gallery until Friday, 22 March between 10am and 5pm.
Associate Professor Shelley Jackson, course leader, said: “Several of the students have been approached by publishers already, so it’s looking very positive for their future.”
There are 82 students in the group, with many submitting work for this exhibition. The MA children’s book illustration course at ARU launched in 2001 and attracts students from all over the world.
The next step for the students is the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in Italy, which will be held in April. “We’ve been taking the student work there for about 10 years now,” said Prof Jackson.
The ARU exhibition runs until Friday, 22 March. For more information, visit aru.ac.uk.
