Visiting schools is the best antidote I know for “studio-itis”. It’s rejuvenating and refreshing to take a break, get out in the world and spend time with children.
I love meeting all the kids and hearing what they have to say. Plus they draw great illustrations and write wonderful letters, and I get to keep them! And some say I’m their favorite illustrator, that doesn’t hurt either (see below)! Here are a few of them.
And sometimes they have suggestions for what I SHOULD have drawn:
Tags: children, children's book illustration, diane greenseid, drawing in schools, illustration, illustrators, kids, school performance, school presentation, school talks, school visits

Oh Diane! You look so grown up and professional at that book signing!
Good to see your blog is coming along… though I’d be afraid to be a cat in that kitchen of yours with all those dogs around!

Well Mrs. Greenseid, CAN you draw a bat like the one in the box? :~)

Nope! I’ve tried drawing a bat at schools and need to be coached every step of the way by the kids.
