Guy
Porfirio’s School Visits
The
art of telling a story.
As
an illustrator, I am as much a storyteller as I am an artist and I use pictures
rather than words to tell my stories. I like to demonstrate this by verbally
telling a story to my audience, and then sketching the same story, revealing
how it wonderfully comes to life in picture form. It’s a great way
of explaining the creative process I go through as I paint the pictures
for my books. I will also show drawings at different stages of progress
all the way up to the final painting, and finally how the pictures appear
in the printed book.
I finish my presentation with a short video showing what a typical day in the life of a children’s book illustrator actually looks like and then answer questions from the audience.

Guy’s Sessions
An all day presentation is four sessions. Each session runs about 45-50 minutes. It is preferable to keep the group size to approximately 40 students per session. However, Guy can work with your schedules and group sizes if needed. The presentation is best for grades K-5, but can be adapted to older grades.
Guy’s Pre-Order Book Sales
Pre-order book forms will be provided prior to Guy’s visit. Guy can autograph the books for the children during the signing session.
