Falconer,I. (2009). Olivia. NY: Atheneum.
This book tells of Olivia's daily routines and of her many adventures. It also highlights the relationship she has with her brother and mother. Falconer use of red against the monotone colors really make the subject of his sentences pop. The book comes to life with the illustrations. They add humor, exaggerated perceptions of life through the eyes of child, and real art work that can be found in New York and Paris Museums.
Textbook Assignment 1:
Color: Color is used to convey emotion and symbolism.
“Olivia”
by Ian Falconer caught my eye by the limited use of color. The color
RED really stood out to me. I really liked
how Ian Falconer used black and white images with a splash of red to bring life
to his story.
