Stu Duval

This term we were lucky enough to have a visit from Stu Duval, he is a cartoonist.

On the first day he told us a story and drew this picture about it. 

Stu telling the story about the man in the picture and the small cross.

On the second day Stu taught us how to draw different cartoons.  Each cartoon starts with a simple letter, number or shape. You then add to it and create your picture. 

This is a zombie started with a Z

We learnt how to completely change the zombie by making his neck either thin or thick.

Here are all our zombies.

Next we learnt how to draw a dinosaur starting with the number 5. Stu calls it a Fiveosaurus!

In this picture you can see how Stu has added detail. He made the dinosaur look huge by drawing a tiny man, then he gave the picture depth by putting a horizon line and adding a volcano.

We also learnt to draw a cartoon dog, and how to make it look like the dog is walking or running.

Stu talked about drawing cartoons with a big head and how to make an evil scientist look intelligent by drawing the face half way down the head.

This cartoon shows us the difference between drawing a big head and small body or small head and big body.

We really enjoyed learning from Stu and have been watching his video clips on his you tube channel.

Room 8 also won the picture he did, we answered two questions about his story first!

Thanks Stu!!
