I have been contacted by a few teachers recently who have seen my presentation on narrative art and asked that I post some of the information. I do a presentation called Drawing Stories which looks at picture books in detail but touches on the history of visuals conveying narrative from cave-art to storyboards for feature films.
I will try and put some of those resources online. I am hoping, down the road, to get the time to make speaking engagements a bigger part of my life and will redesign my blog and website to better represent this. In the meantime contact me via the email here at this blog (under the ABOUT tab at the top) and I will see what I can do. I will do Q and A and readings via Skype, but I can’t translate my larger presentation effectively via Skype. I haven’t figured out a good way to make the interactive portions work well.
Ah, I was recently thinking about asking you to speak at my kids’ school via Skype! I’ll contact you via email. BTW – have you read the graphic novel Anya’s Ghost? I’m really enjoying it. I think the author and I have the same mother.
I’ve seen Anya’s Ghost and it looks beautiful. I need to manufacture more reading time. I’m getting further and further behind. I see your email land will respond ASAP. Thanks!
This is very weird– at exactly the moment I was reading your words about doing Skype presentations, I received an email from a Media Specialist in Florida asking me whether I Skype with schools. I’d never even thought about it before. I might want to pick your brain about this.
Yeah, drop me an email. I have done a few now and there are definitely some types of communication and experience that work better than others.
