I've lived in this area for quite a while, and for the first time had the
opportunity to visit St. John the Evangelist School, with students ranging
from Pre-K through 8th Grade. They invited me to join them for Author Day,
and I truly enjoyed meeting the delightful children and faculty.
I met with the students in two groups, starting with Pre-K - 3rd Grade.
We talked about what it means to be an Author/Illustrator,
The children were adorable and eager to participate. I was impressed!
The second presentation was with the amazing 4th - 8th Graders.
What a great group of kids! I shared my children's book process,
and how to develop an idea and get it published.
They were fun to talk with and had lots to add to the discussion.
These illustrators were ready to work on their own drawings,
creating animals and vehicles using only shapes.
creating animals and vehicles using only shapes.
I invited the students to submit their shape creations for an art contest.
All the drawings were very creative, so I decided everyone is a winner!
YAY!
Wow! How great are these drawings from the lower grades?
Good job Emily, Luke and Tiffany!
And the creativity continues, with the upper grades.
Well done Emma, Alice, Matthew, Nicolas and Maggie!
I made a bunch of sketchbooks to deliver to all the talented winners!
I hope the children enjoyed my visit as much as I enjoyed
spending time with them. It was a big treat for me!
