Fantastic Visit With Fantasy / SciFi Illustrator Mr. Jeffrey McDonald

Grade 9 & 10 MYP Visual Arts students as well as many of our primary students had the fantastic opportunity today to meet Mr. Jeffrey McDonald, a renowned fantasy & science fiction illustrator currently residing in Lusaka. Mr. McDonald has been creating art since he was a child and regularly attends some of the biggest ComicCons in the United States. Today he shared his artwork with students as well as his process for creating and refining his work. He also participated in the AISL Primary School's ComicCon. Mr. McDonald's message to our secondary students was that talent isn't something you are simply born with- that excelling at any endeavour is a matter of regular, consistent practice and a passion for what you do. We are so grateful to community members who share their expertise with our students. If you have a particular skill, hobby, or passion you would like to share with our students please contact Terry Maguire, Secondary Teacher-Librarian.
