One of the best author/illustrators of all time is Molly Bang (says me). While the older kids are working on their blind box project, Elaine's class will be reading Molly Bang books in the art room. We will be reading Grey Lady and the Strawberry Snatcher, Paper Crane and Dawn.
Molly also wrote and illustrated this amazing book on design, Picture This. She explains how shapes and lines can be used to create a mood. The book is written for children, but many college professors and designers use it as well. Watch out for the collage projects we will make inspired from her work!
Great choice ... in fact, I was considering Molly Bang too! Don't you just love author month? I'm totally excited.
