Displaying works from 10 students who completed their 'one-and-only picture book' in one year

Woman Creators College 'Ehon no Gakko' is a one-year learning program for those aiming to become picture book authors.

Students learn the process of story creation, structuring, artistic expression, and finishing a work, with the ultimate goal of completing one original picture book.

The 10 students of the 3rd term also advanced their production while facing their own themes and expressions throughout the one-year curriculum, and have now completed one picture book each as their graduation project.

At this graduation exhibition, not only are the works displayed, but the authors themselves will convey their thoughts on the works and the background of their production directly to the visitors.

For those interested in making picture books, this is an opportunity to directly learn how the students learned, grew, and completed their works.

Numerous planned activities for parents and children to enjoy

In addition to the exhibition of picture book works, the following activities are planned at the venue:

- Storytelling of picture books by the authors themselves - Coloring corner - Hands-on activities such as sticker pasting - Unlimited reading of over 300 different picture books - Interaction with the exhibiting authors

This event is highly recommended for those who love picture books, families looking for a fun outing, and those interested in creative activities.

After graduation, it is possible to debut as a picture book author from the '365+1 Label'

As part of its post-graduation activity support, 'Ehon no Gakko' offers a service where graduates can publish their picture books from the '365+1 Label' and debut as picture book authors.

By supporting students not just until they finish learning, but until they deliver their completed works to the world, the school backs each student's desire to 'become a picture book author.'

For those aiming to become picture book authors from now on, this graduation exhibition is an event where they can feel the results of a year's learning and the possibilities that expand beyond it.

School information sessions held at any time for those aiming to become picture book authors

During the event, school information sessions will be held at any time for those interested in the Woman Creators College 'Ehon no Gakko' Nagoya branch.

By speaking to venue staff, visitors can get information on curriculum details, how classes are conducted, what kind of work production students tackle in a year, the flow from enrollment to graduation, and post-graduation activity support.

Additionally, because visitors can talk directly with the 3rd-term students who actually studied for a year, they can hear real voices regarding any concerns they might have before enrolling.

'I want to try making a picture book.' 'I want to give shape to my own story.' 'I want to read my original picture book to children.' 'I want to take a step forward as a picture book author.' 'I want to know what I can learn at the picture book school.'

For such individuals, this graduation exhibition is an opportunity to learn about the school's atmosphere while enjoying the artwork displays.
