First steps in illustration

A short introduction helps the children to understand the principle of an exciting story. We’ll also talk about the typical characteristics of a main character. I’ll show the children how stereotypes work and how we can avoid them (beefcake, blonde princess). Then the children design (draw, paint, write, whatever they feel like) their main character in their own exciting, sad or romantic story. If they wish, they can also write a short text in the language of their choice.
