Looking for an entertaining, educational, motivating speaker to come speak to your class/school? Contact me for rates and availability! (Virtual Skype visits available!)
My presentations include brainstorming techniques as the answer to “Where do ideas come from?”, information about the illustrating process and encouragement to be life-long learners. I can speak to large or small groups and am adaptable and can generally modify my presentations to complement your lesson plans.
(For high school students – I prefer talking with small groups who are interested in pursuing careers in the art field.)
I am an experienced presenter having participated and presented with “Newspapers in Education” class visits and literacy nights. But as they say – don’t take my word for it:
“We had over 100 parents and kids involved in Literacy Night. They LOVED it! Josh created a dynamic powerpoint presentation which had the crowd impressed with how he creates the work that he does. Toward the end of the evening Josh demonstrated how he creates his comic slides: similar to Tastes Like Chicken. The crowd participated in sharing ideas, and Josh – on the spot – showcased his genius! It was INCREDIBLE!
I would highly recommend to any school a visit from Josh Alves. It was inspirational, exciting and educational.”
- Angela McLaughlin, Glenburn Elementary“If you’re looking for an Author’s visit with a twist- Josh Alves is who you want! Adults & kids alike were captivated by his energy, wit with a little magic thrown in. Josh’s comic books reach the “hard to motivate” readers. They enjoy the humor & the challenge of “cracking the codes”. Our school can’t wait to have him return with his new adventures of Araknid Kid!”
