Today was the 25 year celebration for the Mazza Museum the world’s first and largest teaching museum devoted to literacy and the art of children’s picture books. The featured presenters were pop-up book artists Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart.
Here is one of the pictures (Reinhart on left, Sabuda on right) from their presentation showing how the art of pop-up books is created.
Today was the first day Star Wars – A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy was available to the public. They also announced (and showed pictures) of The Chronicles of Narnia which will be available in the next month or two.
Pop-up books offer a unique artist/engineering experience. Watching the process from conception to mass assembly was intriguing. If you haven’t seen their work, check out their web site. There are many educational titles available.
