How to draw Old Tom

The Grade Ones have been enjoying reading the Old Tom books written and illustrated by Leigh Hobbs. We have read Old Tom, Old Tom’s Holiday, Old Tom – Man of Mystery and Old Tom’s Big Book of Beauty.

We watched this video of How to draw Old Tom with Leigh Hobbs. We watched the video again and Miss Yeomans paused it so we could draw Old Tom step by step by following Leigh’s instructions.

You can see our fantastic drawings of Old Tom in the slideshows…

How to draw Splat the Cat with Rob Scotton

Our Junior classes really enjoy the Splat books by Rob Scotton. We met Splat in his first book called Splat the Cat when Splat wakes up wildly worried about his first day at school. Rob Scotton has written and illustrated two more books for Splat. Love, Splat is the perfect book to read on Valentine’s Day because Splat has a special Valentine who has snowy, white paws and pea green eyes, and Splat likes her more than fish sticks and ice cream. At Christmas time we enjoyed reading MerryChristmas, Splat when Splat worried whether or not he had been good enough for Santa to visit him and leave him a really BIG present.

If you click here you will be able to watch Rob Scotton show you how easy it is to draw Splat.

If you draw Splat you might like to bring your picture to me and we will put it on our LRC Blog

 

How to Draw Deltora Dragons

We have lots of people who love to draw and borrow our drawing books. Liam R in 3BY borrowed “How to Draw Deltora Dragons” by Marc McBride. Marc McBride does an amazing job bringing Emily Rodda’s Deltora Quest characters to life!  Liam drew this wonderful dragon that has lots of detail.

If you have a picture you would like to go on our blog you can bring it to the LRC.
