My muscles ache!

Great day today with Zubaidah of Vivid Dance as we jointly did our Dancing & Drawing workshop, Monsters In Motion, at Priory Woods School in Middlesbrough.

The dancing part was great fun for me, but now I’m suffering the consequences with aching muscles all over :-)

Looking forward to next week’s session!

Monsters In Motion at Priory Woods with Vivid Dance

This week I’ll be Monstering about with Vivid Dance as we deliver the first of 6 Monsters in Motion sessions at Priory Woods in Middlesbrough.

Before the school holidays we met up with the pupils and got to know them – and they, us – and I can safely say that it’s bound be loads of fun!

GRRRÓRRR ÆRR FUÐF RÚÚFFF ARRR!*

*In plain English: “I’m looking forward to monster about at Priory Woods School!”

Last day at Hemlington Hall Primary

I just couldn’t have asked for more creativity from the children and their parents/grandparents. I manged to get everyone drawing comics and even spotted a hidden talent in one of the dads :-) I had so much fun and I can safely say that the kids did too.
I really enjoyed my time at the school and now I’m looking forward to see the comics that the children will produce in their Course on Japanese culture.
You all did extremely well!

Comic making at Hemlington Hall Primary

Today I (ingi) taught the creative children at Hemlington Hall Primary how to make comics in Manga style. This was my third session of 4.
Next week the children will bring a parent in and together we will all make comics. If last year’s session is anything to go by we’ll have great fun!

This is the third year I deliver my How To Draw Manga at Hemlington Hall Primary.

Looking forward to get all the parents making comics next week! :-)

Ingi’s Half Term Monster Drawing Courses in Stockton Borough.

I had a great time this half-term teaching local creative critters how to draw monsters and aliens in four libraries in the Stockton on Tees area. Each session was 2 hours long and flew by like a monster on a rocketscooter… with a broken throttle!
The children were extremely creative and focused in their work, all 80 of them! They, and the parents who took part, deserve a big applause for their Monsterfying work!!
I encourage all to continue on the drawing-path, ’cause drawing is FUN FUN FUN :-)
Many thanks to Art Heroes for passing this workshop opportunity on to me and Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for getting me in to do these courses.

Day one of Manga Drawing at Hemlington Hall.

Yesterday at Hemlington Hall Primary we focused on drawing faces and expressions during our first How To Draw Manga session. It always amazes me how super-creative the children are – such energy and fun!

I’m looking forward to our second session, when we will focus on drawing the body. – Keep on drawing! :)

It’s time for Manga drawing at Hemlington Hall Primary!

It’s February and that means it’s time for Manga drawing at Hemlington Hall Primary.

This is the third year in a row that the school asks me (Ingi) to teach the year 3 children How To Draw Manga, in relation to their studies of Japan’s culture.

I will teach 4 days, the last day being a workshop with parents! Last year was great fun and I discovered many parents to be very creative and excellent illustrators. Here’s my blog from last year’s workshop day: CLICK

So! Let’s sharpen those pencils and get ready to Manga!
