In celebration of I Love to Read Month, I've invited family to come in and read to our class. On Friday morning, we had the pleasure of meeting Marten Posthumus, a local artist and great-grandfather to one of our classmates. He has recently had his work published as a book and he came to share his process of art-making and how he started to be published. Art is a fantastic form of literacy and we learned a lot from a very talented artist.
His advice was simple, if you like to draw, keep at it. He told us he was not that good when he started as a boy but with practice and determination, he became better and better. His artwork was fantastic and the stories of how they came about were exciting to listen to. The students were quite fascinated by his talent and had many great questions for him. We're so grateful he came to share with us!
