This past year at school I've been focusing my projects around children's illustration. My students have studied illustrators from the 1800's all the way up to contemporary artists. We had a local children's illustrator that I know come speak to the classes as well as the local Children's Librarian come and talk about the Caldecott award. It has been really fun to research and teach and as a final project I decided to display the student's work at the public library on the island. It will be up for the month of May and if any of you are about go in and see it. It is really cool to see kids connect with art in such a tangible way and to learn something about the art that is closest to them.
