West Rise Junior School Illustration entries

First of all Happy New Year all! It was a busy end to 2012 for me with my little Olivia being born and she's certainly keeping me on my toes :)

I was delighted just before christmas to receive the splendid illustration entries from pupils at West Rise Junior School. After having gone there to be interviewed for their school paper, (see previous posts) pupils created their own "Sophie Style" illustrations of what they thought their school would be like as an animal kingdom! Below are the 3 Year 4 winners, each awarded with one of my very own Phuket Colouring Books! Well done to all who entered, your visions certainly made me laugh!

In the playground by Ruby Venor 4H
3 Striking characters with great facial expressions!

ICT Lesson by Sophie Briffith 4L
An original subject, love the bright colours and high stools!

Football practice and detention by Charlotte Bray 4H
Such a careful observation of pigs and the duck is a great character!

The West Rise and Shine

Yesterday I had the pleasure to be invited to attend an interview at West Rise Junior school in Eastbourne.

Pupils at the school produce their own fabulous newspaper "The West Rise and Shine" and are currently running a series of reports on "Inspiring Vocations". I was invited to talk to Mrs Stringfellow's Year 6T journalists about what it's like to be an illustrator!

I can't wait to see the end feature from these talented students in next months paper. There will be an illustration competition also to feature alongside my interview, that I will have the pleasure of judging!

Follow my blog over the following weeks and also the pupil's very own "Studio Blog" http://storiesfromthestudiowrj.wordpress.com/ for the result!
