[Note: please go here to see the Mary Grandpre video.] ArtOrg filmed Mary Grandpre during her recent class where she taught young people in Northfield the ins and outs of pastels and how to draw Harry Potter. Many thanks to Mary, but also to Gerard Lasalle of Lasalle Video Productions in Northfield for his help.

The film runs about 75 minutes and shows Mary interacting with the kids and giving pointers on how an illustrator goes about developing a character. She showed several examples from the book “Plum”, and also read a bit from books in the Harry Potter series.

The show will run on Northfield cable TV station NTV which is channel 12. The schedule is as follows:

7:00 pm Sunday, September 11
8:30 pm Thursday, September 15
7:00 pm Tuesday, September 20
7:30 pm Sunday, September 25

The ArtOrg ASAP kids summer program was sponsored by the Grace Whittier Foundation and the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council.
