The Owl's Tree
Mark Braught, Illustrator  His award-winning artwork, including promotional
materials for the Harry Potter merchandise and The Kentucky Derby, impresses adults.
Students see Mark as an artist and stand-up comedian who shows them how to draw.  
His mischievous, fun-loving approach transforms “I can’t draw,” into “Look what I drew!”
as he keeps children laughing, learning, and drawing.
Mark’s presentations range from drawing realistic state and sports icons to inventing
wildly imaginative creations with the students.  With droll humor, he demonstrates the
value of clear specifications, exact information, and good research.  He encourages
writing by helping students find the basis of a story in their drawings.
