This type of fine art includes the following:
- Book miniature. An ancient method of designing manuscripts, which was used back in Ancient Egypt. In the Middle Ages, the main theme of miniature paintings was religious motifs, and only from the 15th century did secular subjects begin to appear. The main materials used by miniature masters were gouache and watercolor.
- The cover design conveys the emotional message of the book, its main theme. Here the font, the size of the letters, and the design corresponding to its name should be harmonious. The cover introduces the reader not only to the author of the work, his work, but also to the publishing house and the designer himself.
- Illustrations are used as an addition to the book, helping to create visual pictures for the reader to more accurately perceive the text. This graphics as an art form originated during the time of printing, when hand-made miniatures were replaced by engravings. A person encounters illustrations in very early childhood, when he still does not know how to read, but learns fairy tales and their characters through pictures.
Book graphics as a form of fine art in preschool educational institutions is learned through illustrated books that carry information in pictures for the youngest children, and through text with explanatory images for older children.
