Produktbeschreibung
With original artwork showcased in a collectible children’s book, dive into the vibrant kaleidoscopic world of one of Louisiana’s most talented artists, Becky Fos. From her famous crowned pelicans, to portraits of powerful figures like Louis Armstrong and Frida Kahlo, Becky Fos is one of the most well-known and acclaimed contemporary artists in Louisiana. Her paintings grace the walls of homes and businesses all across the region, and now children will be able to study a wide selection of her paintings up close and as often as they’d like. Through gentle verse, Becky Fos and Her World of Color details Becky’s artistic process and techniques. Children will get an incredible behind-the-scenes perspective of one of Louisiana’s rising stars–they’ll learn that she sketches her paintings first and that, instead of a paintbrush, she uses a palette knife–a tool that she glides across the canvas in flat strokes of thick, layered color. Becky’s vibrant and dramatic paintings come to life on every page, inspiring children to exercise their own creativity and self-expression right alongside her. Turn to the last four pages of the book to create your own version of some of Becky’s famous scenes.
Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Konecni loves teaching, learning, and creating. She began her teaching career at age seven in her family’s two-car garage in New Orleans, where her work was setting up the perfect classroom.  Elizabeth and her dad spent every Saturday morning going to garage sales, searching for classroom materials, especially children's books. No surprise, Elizabeth grew up to be a classroom teacher, administrator, curriculum specialist, and instructional coach. Her work brings her into many schools across the New Orleans area, coaching teachers and principals. Through her years in education, she has seen the significant impact reading has on a child, and she believes books give readers an escape, a vacation, life lessons, and endless happiness. She strongly believes that a powerful book message can change the world. In her first book, Becky Fos and Her World of Color, she hopes readers will connect with the message that they can dream big and do anything, just like Becky did!
