Workshop day 2: Penguin group

We started off by introducing the students to figure drawing, taking turns in posing in awkward positions on a table and toppling over as out legs gave in. The Addington students studies improved really quickly, and they focused on the task well, even after the confusion of us placing a pot of ink and a twig in front of them and asking them to draw using these mediums! We then put these skills towards fashion illustration, incorporating the style of the costumes that will be used in the show, using a technique that we had used in one of our previous BRIT School VA&D units.

Nearing the end of the lesson we asked the students to do some screen printing designs, and they produced some beautiful imagery of abstract clouds and waves that they will screen print themselves in a future workshop and will be used in our animation for Bloomsbury!
