Skissa fram dina drömmar på en kurs i teckning
Har du ibland en inre längtan av att börja skriva, måla eller teckna? Ofta lägger vi våra kreativa drömmar på hyllan i en stressig vardag. Men vad skulle hända ...

Vi hämtar inspiration från kända barnboksillustratörer från hela världen. Genom en rad roliga övningar sätter vi igång vår barnsliga fantasi. Vi fördjupar oss i komposition och färganvändning. Med experimenterande hittar vi nya favoritkombinationer av material och tekniker. Vi utforskar hur ord och bilder kan samverka på överraskande sätt och hur en illustration kan beröra publiken!
Inga förkunskaper krävs
Lektionerna hålls främst på engelska så vissa kunskaper i det engelska språket krävs.

-------------------------------
From idea to finished illustration. In this course, we explore the entire process behind creating children’s book illustrations that speak a thousand words. Step by step, with a focus on playfulness and experimentation, we develop our own visual style.
We draw inspiration from famous children’s book illustrators from all over the world. Through a series of fun exercises, we set our childlike imagination in motion. We practise composition and the use of colour. By experimenting, we search for new favourite combinations of materials and techniques. We explore how words and images can interact in surprising ways and how an illustration can move the audience!
• The course consists of 5 sessions of 90 minutes each.
• Keeping a sketchbook is not compulsory, but it can make the experience even more enjoyable and educational.
• During the first session, we will discuss different ways of using a sketchbook in the illustration process.
No experience required
All sessions are led in English so some knowledge of the English language is required.
