Eric Carle 'What are you like?'
TheHouse of Illustration is the world’s first dedicated home for the art of
illustration; adverts, animation, picture books, political cartoons, scientific drawings, fashion design; they are a creative hub for emerging
and established artists working in every aspect of illustration.
The
House of Illustration put on exhibitions like their most recent UK-touring
exhibition, What Are YouLike? on at Bath’s Holburne Museum until October 17th.
Based
on a Victorian parlour game, the exhibition invited 45 people in the public eye
to create a self-revealing artwork by illustrating 8 of their favourite things
from a list of 12: their favourite animal, book, item of clothing, comfort,
food, pastime, place, possession, music, shoes, weather or pet aversion (the
thing they love to hate!).
Past
exhibitions are here
The House of Illustration also run competitions and organise events with some of the country’s leading illustrators. They work in schools across London through the PICTURE IT education programme.
They aim to eventuallycreate a permanent home to celebrate the past, present and future of illustration. Items in the shop go towards funding the dream....
