Visiting Artist
School Visit Reviews
Children's Books
A visit to your school or library is a memorable event for students, staff and those interested in the making of a children's book from an illustrator's perspective.
A typical school visit includes group sessions that allow students the chance to view original artwork while learning about becoming a professional illustrator. The displayed artwork and unusual props help Tim share his experience illustrating stories and having his artwork published in children's books.

A drawing demonstration is part of each session and is always entertaining and instructional. Tim shares the basics of cartooning and sketches a few of his own book characters. Each session concludes with a question and answer time.

School Visit Reviews-
"We all really enjoyed Tim's visit. The children were so enthused and even the upper grade teachers were impressed with his art and his rapport with the kids-- and the teachers got excited about drawing. It was an awesome visit for us."
-(Library Media Specialist, Indian Run Elementary School)

"Our students and staff are still talking about Tim and the great visit! I will be going to a librarian's meeting and will recommend Tim for school visits. He was really great with the kids and so talented. Not everyone with talent can share it with children; it takes a special person. Thanks again for an unforgettable visit."
-(Library Media Specialist, New London Elementary School)

"We've had positive feedback from the entire school body... We will definitely have him back in a few years... He's done a fabulous job of reaching out to the kids and has great rapport with them... (The kids) were so involved with him--conversing and questioning to nearly overtime. It was a great day for us. Thank you."
-(Parent/PTO Chairperson, Deer Run Elementary School)

"We really enjoyed (Tim's visit to) Edison. The staff has expressed to me how much they appreciated how he tied the illustrations into writing composition. I will tell my colleagues how worthwhile his visit is."
-(Library Media Specialist, Edison Elementary School)

"The boys and girls are having great success with your Drawing Face to Face with Tim Bowers books. We have a dozen copies for check out from the media center and we have yet to shelve any of them.
