In early March, comic book artist and illustrator Jerry DeCaire travelled from Michigan to share his work with students at South Highlands Middle School in Union Springs and Lowndes Middle School in Fort Deposit. Mr. DeCaire has drawn for such popular comics as "X-Men" and "Wolverine." He talked about the importance of proportion and perspective when drawing the human form, and used algebra and geometry to demonstrate his techniques. Mr. DeCaire's visits were sponsored by the Auburn University Center for the Arts & Humanities. Thanks to Mrs. Kathy Capps (South Highlands) and Mrs. Peggy Grant (Lowndes) for coordinating Mr. DeCaire's workshops at their schools.

The photos were taken in Ms. Haynes' 7th-grade math class at South Highlands, where students created a wall of art to welcome Mr. DeCaire.
