Mr Madden's Visit

On Wednesday 26th August the students of Rooms 12, 15 and 16 were very lucky to have Bruce Madden come and talk to us for our inquiry topic. We are researching 'Careers' and the pathways and skills that are needed for lots of different careers. Mr Madden is an illustrator who has published two children's books. He read us his latest book called "Jack" and showed us lots of his artwork. He explained to us how he became an illustrator and what skills are needed and tools are used.
We were able to ask Mr Madden lots of questions about his career which helped us with our inquiry. After we asked him questions he taught us how to draw our own "Jack" bird and then he judged the styles that he thought were most creative. Three people were chosen as the winners and they each got a prize. We all really enjoyed the visit and learned a lot from Mr Madden.
