ABSTRACT: Provided introduction is related to imagination in
children’s story books. Reviewing the books of this
course, in addition to introducing the author’s styles, leads to more knowledge
about the content of these books. The imaginary imagery
as the main gem of these books is considered as one of the most important
artistic criteria. Types of colors, shapes and characteristics are the most
striking forms of imagination in this work. Applying live metaphors and
exquisite combinations which appear on the vapor of imagery and the remarkable
frequency of ecosystemism can be seen in these works. Children build the
foundations of the future civilization; therefore, in order to understand and promote the culture of our
country, the study of the effect of imagery in the works of Iranian
illustrators associated with the stories of Iranian writers is considered as
the research goal. Another goal of this study was to identify the elements that
illustrators have been inclined to use to make more visual imagery over the
past decade. The methodology of this research is historical and
descriptive-analytical, and the collection of materials has been done through
library and internet studies. The results of the review of books and images and
examples from the age group “B and C” books by the Children’s and Adolescent
Intellectual Development Center indicate that the use of fictional imagery in
the illustrations of the last decade has been growing and more illustrators
have taken fantastic elements in creating the story space. The most commonly
used fictional imagery is imaginary space, and the smallest is imaginative
characters.
