talks and workshops
During Cathy’s workshops she will explain the stages of writing and illustrating a picture book and picture book app, from early concept to the published book/app. She demonstrates the process of character design.
With class participation she creates a pastel illustration of an imaginary character. The school gets to keep this illustration. The students then design and create their own imaginary character.
