Children's book illustrator captivates students with images Heather Mir T -A staff HURON PARK - Commercial artist Paul Morin admits he is really a child at heart and this must be true because he had no difficulty captivating an audience of public school children for nearly two hours. Morin, an illustrator of children's books, uses his travels around the world as inspiration for his art which includes music and videography as well as painting. The presentation he gave students on Wednesday at McCurdy Public School traced his recent trip to China. Immersing himself in a culture helps Morin create works of art which tell the story of a different life- style. His long-term goal is to illustrate a series of children's books which the child swallows it and becomes a dragon. The dragon is an important symbol for the Chinese; it guards many temples and brings needed rain. Although the boy's mother mourns the loss of her child, she is happy he will be able to bring good fortune to the entire village as a dragon. Morin begins a project by com- posing a piece of music for each painting. This en- ables him to re-create represent all the "original people" on the earth and the original teachings. The book, The Dragon's Pearl is the product of Morin's travels deep into the countryside of southern China to a 2,000 year-old village. Itis the story of poor boy who dis- covers a magic rose-colored pearl. In an attempt to protect the pearl, Paul Morin the mood or experience from his trip in his stu- dio near Rockwood, Ontario. The Dragon's Pearl illustration includes 18 different paintings and each has an original piece of music, many composed on traditional in- struments Morin collects. Other children's books illustrated by Morin include The Mud Family, The Orphan Boy and The Ghost Dance, released last week. Born in Alberta, Morin grew up in Quebec and currently lives in Ontario where he has a studio near a forest. As a child he used to like to walk in the woods and still gets excited at the change of seasons. "The forest keeps me really really inspired...there I find other worlds within other worlds," said Morin. Morin's next project, which he plans to write himself, will take him to Australia where he will be living with the Aborigines. Working part of the year as a fine artist, Mbrin will be holding an ex- hibition at the Royal Ontario Mu- seum in the near future. His port- folio of commercial work includes movie posters, movie cassette cov- ers, billboards and creating paint- ings to accompany articles in out- door magazines. Recently, Morin has been in- volved in making a series of video documentaries of his travels. The documentaries use - a novel ap- proach of allowing images and mu- sic to wash over the viewer without commentary. By taping the sounds of tribal mesic or gurgling water with a DAT (digital audio tape) re- corder, Morin is able fo bring his digital images to life.
