Throughout term five, students from Year 7 and 8 completed a picture book project of their own.

Initially, using artist Simon Murray's Icky Doo Dah character as a learning tool, the students explored key illustration techniques to enhance detail, contrast and texture within their work whilst independently developing their own unique style.

To further engage and intrigue the viewer, each student created an intricate and colourful frame in which they cached objects relating to the themes contained in their action illustrations and stories.

A selection of the finished illustrations and a range of the artist's work is now on display for everyone to enjoy in the freeborn gallery.
