As the first post in my visual art blog, I am happy to announce that the editors for the online journal,
Literacyhead: Lessons for Teaching Literacy through Art, selected my
ACEO An Egg Dares to Try to Fly to appear in
Vol.1, Issue 19: The Character Development Issue, September 8 to September 20, 2010. (
NOTE: After September 20, 2010, you will have to subscribe to Literacyhead in order to see back copies of the journal.) My 2.5" x 3.5" mixed-media collage appears on the "
Visual Vocabulary: Images for Teaching Words" page to teach students about the word courage which appears in Anette Bley's
A Friend (one of the highlighted books for this issue).

My scholarly research in visual imagery and writing go back to my doctoral dissertation, to several articles I have published in scholarly journals, and to my co-edited book
Language and Image in the Reading-Writing Classroom: Teaching Vision. However, the fact that one of my pieces of visual art will aid students in their literacy development ("an image is worth a thousand words") delights my heart and soul!
