Nyatt School, RI
"Wonderful program which the children thoroughly enjoyed and I am sure he inspired a few young artists in the process."
A Day In The Life Of A Book
In my school program," A Day In The Life Of A Book", I show students and teachers the process of bringing a story to life with pictures. Demonstrating how an illustrator approaches a manuscript and creates artwork that tells the story, gives them an insight into the creative process that they don't get a chance to see. I also create an illustration with the students using ideas they come up with after reading a simple story. The illustration then belongs to the school or library to remind students of their own creative skills.
During my presentation I share the story of how I became an illustrator
and throw in a little illustration history as well. We always have a great time!
YOUNG Illustrators Workshop
This exciting adventure in learning visual art lets participants experience what it's like to be a real illustrator. With my guidance, students go from manuscript to book dummy, creating their own character and setting while telling the story. This is a hands on workshop they'll remember!
