James Gurney’s Visit to SAS Pudong
March 23, 2012 – James Gurney and his wife Jeanette Gurney have just completed their visit to the SAS Pudong Campus. The Gurneys visit began this past Wednesday, March 21. James worked with two Art/Photography classes in the HS Division and presented a talk about his work as an Artist/Author of “Dinotopia”. On Thursday James Gurney present to our entire Elementary Division, PreK to 5th grade in a series of 4 presentations which focused on his research and work to create images for “Dinotopia” as well as his scientific illustrations. In each presentation he thrilled the audience by drawing and painting on the fly. The art he created will be framed and posted for all to view in the Secondary Library. Today, Friday, the Gurneys presented to 6-8th Graders in a series of talks that discussed how he approaches artistic projects for both his scientific illustration work as well as his personal creative work. A few very lucky students received unexpected “Happy Birthday” gifts from James as he demonstrated various 3-D lettering techniques.
The Secondary Library and the SAS Pudong Community would like to thank the Gurneys for their time and the talents they shared with us. The Gurneys are off to SAS Puxi now to continue their stay.
