Lenine da cidade das nuvens: Processo criativo do livro ilustrado

Abstract

This research project for the Visual Arts Final Year consists of the production of an illustrated book entitled “ Lenine da Cidade das Nuvens” (Lenine of the City of Clouds) and the theoretical and practical study of its creative process. It falls within the field of visual poetics, with the specificities of arts research. The underlying interest of this research lies in the investigation and exploration of the creative resources used in the creation processes of the book's illustrations, as well as in the deepening of studies related to the interaction between image and text. The purpose of the book is to address, in a creative and sensitive way, complex and everyday themes present in the universe of children, while seeking to understand the intricate nature of the creative process. This process, in turn, encompasses reflection, script construction, exploration of graphic and plastic solutions, as well as the layout of the graphic piece. The theoretical basis involves works by Suzy Lee (2012), Zamboni (2006), Salles (2004 and 2006) and Santos (2017), as well as Meireles (2016), Cademartori (2006) and Nikolajeva and Scott (2011) to discuss children's literature, genetic criticism and the creative process in illustrated books.
