Over the last ten years, I have had the pleasure of visiting many schools across the country.  I love engaging with students, sharing my process, and teaching a few tricks of the trade.

I have many presentations (Graphic novel presentation available for the 2020-2021 school year) and I can be flexible with your school and its individual needs.  Sometimes I do large auditorium presentations, and other times I work in a classroom with a single group.  I’ve taught art to Kindergartners, writing to third graders, and illustration to college age learners.

 

***DUE TO COVID-19, I WILL NOT BE DOING ANY IN-PERSON AUTHOR VISITS – Scroll down for cyber options.***

 

There is no such thing as a typical day, but here is an example of a possible full day author-visit:

8:00 – 8:45 Large group presentation in the auditorium (half the school)

9:00 – 9:40 Art Project with Classroom 1

9:40 – 10:20 Art Project with Classroom 2

10:20 – 11:00 Art Project with Classroom 3

11 – 11:30 Lunch with future writers in library

11:30-11:45 Julie break

11:45 – 12:30 Writing Lesson with Classroom 4

12:30 – 1:15 Writing Lesson with Classroom 5

1:15 – 1:30 Julie Break

1:30 – 2:30  Large Group Presentation (Other half of the school)

Half day presentation are available to schools within the West Hartford, CT area.

Presentations and Prices vary.  Please feel free to send me an email at julie_c@rocketmail.com to inquire about current programs.

 

30-Minute cyber-sessions have been a popular choice since Covid-19 hit.  Cyber-visits sessions are broken up into three 10-minute sections.

Section 1: I read one of my picture books or a section of my graphic novel.

Section 2: Drawing demo. *

Section 3: Student Q& A

Cyber-sessions are $50 per 30-minute session.

Send an email to me at julie_c@rocketmail.com if you’d like to schedule a Cyber-session.

*A drawing lesson can be swapped for a drawing demo, in which case the lesson usually goes 15-20 minutes so I only have time for 1-2 questions.

 

If you would like to discuss a longer online option, I am very happy to plan something that fits your needs. Stay safe!
