"Live Tales" - Illustrators

Live Tales is Live Theatre's creative writing centre for children and young people.

The key role of a volunteer illustrator is to respond creatively to the children and young people's ideas. The illustrator will be required to draw two pictures to compliment the class story. The drawings must be full colour and completed at a fast pace. The illustrations will be printed in a book which the group take back to school.

This activity is a good way for artists and illustrators to build up their portfolio of work.
