After helping me out this semester with the Memento Nora Project, the fabulous students at King Middle School in Portland ME get to exhibit their work at their local library!
MEMENTO NORA PROJECT
Comics Art Exhibit
May 6 – July 1, 2011
Portland Public Library Teen Room
The middle schoolers, under the mentorship of students from Maine College of Art’s art education program, created comics at part of the national Memento Nora Project.
Their work will be featured on Mementonora.com, and I’m also excited to meet these budding artists and writers (via Skype visit) on May 17th.
The Memento Nora project invites middle school and high school writers, artists, and creators to create and publish comics featuring MEMENTO NORA or the theme of the novel–combating social injustice and bringing attention to community challenges.
For more info, check out the event’s Facebook page . More on the Memento Nora Project. It’s open for anyone to participate in through November.
Angie, this is SO INCREDIBLY COOL! What a great way to get kids involved with the themes and content of your book (which I’ve just started reading, BTW).
This is so amazing, Angie. I am really impressed with all your work, especially how you’ve reached out to classrooms.
And I love your new author photo.
