When students inspire the teacher...

So last night, I gave my illustration students an in-class assignment to loosen them up. I handed out 2 pieces of construction paper, a glue stick and a Sharpie to each-giving them no parameters, other than that they needed to use each material in some way. So fun to see how different minds think! They all had such a unique vision from torn bits to 3-D, breaking the border, etc. So proud...

A Second "midsummer"

Everyone's talking about the unseasonably warm temps here in the Northeast. I was in the city yesterday and had one of my meetings outside in Bryant Park. We actually had to switch tables three times because the sun grew too strong! But it was nice to see so many people basking in the warmth. Seems everyone was eating their lunch outside.

Then I headed over to Random House where I swooned over all the vintage books in their lobby! Astrid Lindgren, Hans Christian Anderson and many more! I had to be careful not to be late to my appointment!
