Art News: Harmony Intermediate 9th Grader on "GMA" Friday

(Nov. 12, 2009) - Charlie Beggs, a ninth-grader at Harmony Intermediate School, will be featured on “Good Morning America” on Friday, November 13th, to discuss a work of art that began as a class project.

As an assignment in Kristen Hepner's eighth grade English class, Beggs created a claymation book trailer for a favorite book,“Looking Glass Wars” by Frank Bedder. To ensure that his teacher could view his work, Beggs posted his video on YouTube where the author happened to see it.

Bedder contacted Beggs and commissioned him to create a video for his new book, “Hatter M: Mad with Wonder.” Now a ninth-grader, Beggs will be visiting “Good Morning America” when Frank Bedder introduces his new book and premieres Beggs' video.
