It's back to school!... but teaching this time.
A local academy school wanted an illustrator of comic book adventure cartoons to visit their school and give a presentation of work, followed by a workshop class for budding young illustrators.
Hence, I found myself standing in front of around a dozen... 'go on then Picaso, show us what you've got!'... angelic faces!
I was going to rabbit on about what I said about my considerable talent as an illustrator and the amazing workshop that I lead with pure energy, flare and captivating excitment,... but to be honest, to understand my positive impact on them you're best just reading the following comments from the students and teacher... they were amazing too!
It was a really great afternoon because Dave's advice was brilliant and I liked his comic book illustrations Elliott - student
Dave was a brilliant Teacher! Sam - student
An amazing experience and Dave was extremely helpful. Nat - student
I've since visited a few other schools and delivered my presentation, followed by a workshop. Again more positive feedback...
Thank you!
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your amazing illustration workshops today! All of the students got a huge amount out of the session. Some of the students from the second group came in at lunch time to continue drawing and develop their ideas. I think it was truly inspiring for them to meet someone who makes a living from doing the thing they are passionate about. The workshops were pitched perfectly and differentiated to suit each group, which was exactly what we were looking for. We loved having you here and hopefully we'll get the opportunity to work with you again in the near future. - Emily - Learning Resource Leader
