Enjoyed a Saturday morning at the Irving Arts Center for a special exhibit:
Our Voice: Celebrating the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Awards
Stunning books with glorious illustrations. 101 award/honor winning titles. The Coretta Scott King Awards celebrate fifty years as a champion of books about the African American Experience.
A lovely illustration of Martin Luther King Jr. This one struck Ray's eyes.
I too, Am America by Bryan Collier (2012) caught my eye.
The galleries were filled with watercolors, prints, oils, and photography. So many talented people. I appreciated this touring exhibition. I may have to go to my library to actually take the time to read and peruse these children's books.
Hi Joanne - I think I maybe being a little stooopid?! but where's the reference to children's books? I see at the end - you're thinking about getting to the library - to look at them ... which I know you'll be able to do next year after retiring.
ReplyDeleteThe exhibition looks amazing ... thanks for writing this up - cheers Hilary
