We also ask them to share how the MATS courses have helped them learn and grow. You can see more Alumni Success stories here Today, we have an interview with Grace Noël. Grace has taken MATS A&B and Bootcamp Tell us a little about how you got started in art and design I had a chuckle when I realized that all of my most vivid memories relate to surface patterns–my favourite yellow and blue calico shirt from my toddler years, the clouds my mom painted on the ceiling of our play room, the confetti-print sheets in my grandparents’ spare bedroom, and so on. I am an artist by nature, a fashion designer by hobby, and an interior decorator by trade, so it makes

Land your dream job! 6 Fabulous tips for illustrating a children’s book

What’s amazing about our children’s book illustration course is how the work blossoms over the five jam-packed weeks. I love to teach our intensives for exactly that reason. The passion and achievement of our students are awe-inspiring. What kind of children’s picture books would you like to illustrate? Today I’m going to show you student work from Week 4 of Illustrating Children’s Books which I co-teach with the very fun and highly respected children’s book art director, Zoë Tucker. The theme of Week 4 is Environment. Students are tasked with creating a scene from their text. At this point, they have already developed their character and now they get to place their character in a setting. TIP 1: Make a magical little world with lots of details that the child can explore over and over again, as Maria has done here. Doing research is a great way of making the

For as long as I can remember, I have always been attracted to and interested in arts and crafts
