School Visits & Workshops

SCHOOL VISITS

Watch me demonstrate how I paint as I take you on a journey of how a picture book is created.

Discover the process of creating a picture book and what is involved from:

*Planning
*Writing
*Editing
*Researching information for both the       
  words and illustration
*Storyboarding
*Drawing techniques

See the original artworks and how they evolved from the first concepts and roughs.

This makes books and illustration real for children and enthuses them with their own writing and creative pursuits.

WORKSHOPS

I provide illustration and writing workshops for children of all age groups.

Depending on the group's interests, I can cater workshops for any specific needs. It can include writing, storyboarding and illustration in many mediums.

Children work with me to create a picture book, or can simply have fun drawing and painting.

Call and speak to me about what you think would suit the kids and I can work out a program with you.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

I work with groups of kids as a visiting artist for extension programs and special projects. This can involve:

*Murals
*Sculpture - hebel, plaster, cane -           
anything we can think of that will work
and is fun!
*Performance Art
*Installations

The Students will get to explore different art mediums they might not normally be able to.
And it's enormously rewarding for the kids!
