the BIG DRAW at Londons National Portrait Gallery

on Sat 8th October at the National Portrait Gallery as part of the Big Draw campaign, children were inspired by the amazing wigs/shoes/costumes in the Regency Painting and crazy party going characters were created.

But the question on everybodies lips was HOW were they going to get to the party?

Well watch the film and find out!

well done all.
Thanks to the National Portrait Gallery team and also a HUGE thanks to the very talented Tanera Dawkins for her most enchanting music.

South Bucks Childrens Book group get animated!

So here is the result of my wonderful 2 hour art and animation workshop in high wycombe last weekend.

Everybody created their own cut-out character and did a spot of under-the-camera animation.

Didn't they do well!

Apart from this, there was lots of sticky collage making ,zoetrope whizzing, crafty paper cats and reading books.

Huge thanks to everyone in the South Bucks Children's Book group for being so welcoming and lovely.

We got yummy cake and everything!
