Author and Illustrator Russ Cox

Russ Cox, author and illustrator, came to our school to visit today.  He showed us some of the books he has worked on, sketches, and had the kids use pencil and paper to create some original artwork.

Here are a few of his sketches.

And one of my personal favorites!

He then showed us how to turn any shape into something and we worked and we worked a bit more.

Once our sketches were completed we had time to share.

A HUGE thank you to Russ.  The kids loved spending the morning with you!
