Step inside the magical world of Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures as we learn to become illustrators in this fun art and literacy Live Lesson. \n\nInspired by the BBC animated films and Quentin Blake’s original illustrations, we learn how to draw our very own Zagazoo, one of his most beloved characters, who transforms into different animals to represent the stages of growing up.\n\nHosts Rhys Stephenson and Laura Hopkinson are joined by comic artist and illustrator Vivian Truong, who will be sketching throughout the lesson. \n\nChildren’s author and illustrator Dapo Adeola shares his top tips for drawing expressive characters as he visits a safari park in search of animal inspiration. \n\nThe lesson includes simple comprehension skills used to interpret illustrations within books and basic drawing techniques.
