Visiting Comic Book Artists and Authors
Several comic book artists and writers visited with students in the library.
Matt Loux met with third grade classes. He talked about his early influences (at left) and explained that at first he practiced copying his favorite cartoon characters over and over again before coming up with his original ideas. Writing is still hard for him. We are glad he perseveres and look forward to the next book in the Salt Water Taffy series!
First and second graders were treated to an interactive visit with Geoffrey Hayes (Benny & Penny Series). They wrote their own, original Benny & Penny stories.
George O'Connor read his Sally and the Something to Ms. Farkas' first graders; drew Uncle Bigfoot, and gave a sneak-preview of his forthcoming graphic novel, Olympians, to Joel's first/second grade class.
Cartoonist Neil Numberman did a hands-on insect-drawing workshop with third and fourth graders!
We're looking forward to seeing Neil's soon-to-be released first book in the Joey Fly: Private Eye series--Joey Fly: Private Eye in Creepy Crawly Crime.
Artist Raina Telgemeier of Baby-Sitters Club fame talked about her work with fifth graders from Ms. Deshpande's class.
Misako Rocks speaks with fifth-grade students. After a slide presentation, she demonstrates her Manga drawing technique for the class.
Alex Simmons, writer for Archie Comics, did a comic-making workshop with children. Alex organizes the annual Kids' Comic Con in the Bronx.
Matt Madden, co-author of Drawing Words and Writing Pictures, spoke to teachers about possibilities for using comics in the classroom.
