Shape Drawing with children's author Will Hillenbrand

Description

Join award-winning children's author and illustrator Will Hillenbrand for this special workshop for all ages. Hillenbrand will show attendees how beginning drawers can capture their imagination with basic shapes. Copies of his new book Light as a Feather: Fifteen Phenomenal North American Birds are available for purchase at the Gilley. A longtime favorite of kids, their parents, and librarians, Hillenbrand has produced more than 75 titles for young readers. Among his many honors are the 1990 Gold Medal from the Society of Illustrators; a Notable Book citation from the American Library Association: for Traveling to Tondo: A Tale of the Nkundo of Zaire; the 1995 Best Books designation from School Library Journal; the 1995 Irma S. and James H. Black Award for Excellence in Children’s Literature; 1997 North Carolina Children’s Book Award; and 1997 Horn Book Fanfare List. This is one of four events with Hillenbrand that is part of the occasional series Reading with Wings in cooperation with our friends at the Southwest Harbor Public Library.
