Students learn drawing techniques after a reading of "Heave Ho!"
On Tuesday, Sept. 5, award-winning author and illustrator Jose Lucio treated first graders to a captivating and ear-splitting reading of his children's book "Heave Ho!" An art project followed, revealing Mr. Lucio's tips for drawing just about anything, inspiring everyone to look closely at the world around them and to draw the shapes they see.
Mr. Lucio lives and works in Savannah, Ga. In addition to writing and illustrating children's books, he teaches visual arts to students of all ages at the Scribble Art Studio in Savannah. His book "Heave Ho!" was named Best New Local Book in 2015. This visit, one of the first on his book tour, was made possible through a collaboration with Vanderbilt's Peabody Library and the Department of Teaching & Learning.
