All grade three students have been lucky enough to workshop with an illustrator Mrs. Monika Godsmark. Mrs. Godsmark pushed the children to think out of the box when it came to illustration and move away from their usual image of pictures in a book. The students looked deeper into the illustrations from a selection of famous and inspiring illustrators who's work strongly build on the stories they tell. Then they had a go themselves and had to illustrate a story Mr. Godsmark read to them (without showing the illustrations in the book).
The results are up in the classroom and are all very different, which is the most wonderful thing about how we perceive a story in our minds-eye.
I hope this talented lady gave you lots of tips! How interesting that all the pictures are different from the same story
