In her presentations Ponder loves to teach about illustrating picture books, from brainstorming for ideas to creating the finished art. Her presentation includes a talk with slides, a drawing demonstration with audience participation, and a question and answer period. With slides the audience learns of the thinking process an illustrator uses to enhance the meaning of a story. She uses audience participation in demonstrating her drawing of anthropomorphic characters. Questions are answered in the end for the older groups. Presentations She will present two to four sessions per day, each session lasting twenty to forty minutes with fifteen minutes between. Grouping by grade level is preferred.
