I have years of experience teaching art to elementary and preschool age children, and I miss my time in the classroom so I leap at any chance to visit schools!
My current program is an hour-long AV presentation (it can be made shorter depending on age/attention span). Topics covered include: ideation specifically using ones passions to spark ideas, the process of making a picture book from idea-publication, and an in depth look at my latest title PEOPLE ARE WILD, including the “why” and “how” behind it. This last section has an animal conservation angle and pairs well with classrooms currently learning about environmental concerns.
All my school presentations can be catered for grades k-5.
