Yesterday, Liz Million came to Windy Nook for the day to share her amazing knowledge on illustrating. She worked with the whole school in workshops across the day. Liz began to share her story to the children about how she is from Darlington, went to university in London to study illustrations and has always had a love of drawing, even from a young age. She went on to demonstrate how she uses shapes to draw her pictures e.g. starting with a potato or a slice of toast and then adding to this to form faces. Children focussed on animals from the Great Barrier Reef and the Amazon rainforest. Children were then able to draw along with Liz creating their own artwork.
At the end of the day, Liz even did a book signing!
It was a brilliant day and all of the children loved it! There are definitely some future illustrators in our school!
