I am thrilled to have been invited to join the INCUBATE project at Huntcliff Secondary School. Not only will I be able to work alongside the art teachers and other artists, but I can base my part of the project around the theme of pirates! The work produced will be exhibited in July 2015, with the students artwork being displayed alongside their mentors.
In this first session we got to know each other and my pirate matey. A few warm up exercises loosened up our drawing muscles and prepared us for making mistakes (a very important step).

I showed the students some of my work in progress, and they shared some of their fantastic drawings with me. We then worked on getting into a pirate mindset and started to think about character possibilities.
The students will be working on the project in-between the workshops. I can't wait to see what they come up with.
