On Tuesday, Crew McGlone welcomed illustrator Liz Million to our school to support us with drawing skills that we can use within our final product creation – a bookmark including children’s drawings of traditional tales characters.
Liz talked to us about her job as an illustrator, told us lots of stories from her childhood and how she decided she wanted to become an illustrator. She then began to show us many examples of artwork she could create just by simply using lots of different shapes. She showed us how easy it was to create the wolf, Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma’s cat, before then doing a step-by-step draw along to create a troll from Billy Goats Gruff!
We listened so well to each of Liz’s instructions and our final pieces were absolutely fantastic! We cannot wait to put our new skills intro practise when we come to do our final product illustrations. Thank you SO much Liz for coming in and working with us, we are very lucky! We will be sending you a bookmark to showcase our fantastic drawings!
