Cartoon & Illustration Workshop – Nsw
CARTOON & ILLUSTRATION WORKSHOP – NSW (CODE – 118GBW)
Graeme has been running cartooning and illustration classes for five years at Forestville. Each afternoon between 4.00 pm and 5.30 pm students learn to use the right side of their brain and release their creativeness. From the old style of illustrations of Mickey Mouse and Tweety Bird, to the more modern cartooning of Anime, children are able to experiment and create styles and cartoon characters of their own.
Private classes as well as workshops and holiday programmes are also available. Not only do children benefit by expressing and building upon their creative talents, but the programmes also enhance communication and interaction skills.
Graeme has been interacting with children for many years including those with ADHD and other learning disabilities. His sense of humour, patience and wisdom provides a relaxing atmosphere for all students.
CORPORATE ILLUSTRATION WORKSHOPS
Adults can benefit enormously by the classes offered. Graeme and his team (dependent upon class numbers) will encourage each employee to express themselves both artistically and emotionally, opening up pathways otherwise forgotten or blocked. Each staff member is also given the opportunity of inventing a cartoon character of their own creating very humorous situations.
COMIC STRIPS
With Graeme having worked for major newspapers in New Zealand, he is able to offer the services of creating comic strips for magazines, advertisements, newspapers and even the Internet (website promotion).
