CREATIVE EXPEDITION

March 18, 2019

Year 10 students recently took an enlightening excursion to Fremantle to explore the world of children’s literature and illustration. The trip included a workshop with children’s book author and illustrator Briony Stewart at Paper Bird Children’s Books and Arts, and a meeting with illustrator James Foley (author/illustrator) who comically demonstrated the process of illustrating a children’s book.

After leaving Fremantle inspired, students are now designing a promotional poster to celebrate Book Week as part of their Commercial Design class.

The Year 9’s from Commercial Design recently went on an excursion to Paper Bird in Fremantle to meet with Illustrator Samantha Hughes.

Samantha Hughes writes and illustrates in a sunny studio in Fremantle with two naughty cats.

She works mainly in gouache, relishing the richness of colour and fine detail it allows.

Her work has appeared in books, on posters, in exhibitions and even on shoes.

Samantha worked with the students to help develop their ideas, skills and techniques for their Book Week poster design project.

 

The student’s were truly inspired.

“There is no line between fine art and illustration; there is no high or low art; there is only art, and it comes in many forms.” – James Gurney
