I found the laura carlin talk incredibly inspiring and motivating, it also made me feel calm, not scared of the future. I liked that she was honest, she spoke about it being difficult and thats okay. She spoke about how for creatives theres a pressure for us to be inspired constantly, this is unrealistic. These are words I definitely need to remind myself of, something important in my futurology project.
- the joy of children
- kids hate being patronised, stop making patronising kids work
- sometimes things don't need illustrating
- ceramics !! definitely want to get into this, haven't dabbled in clay since year 6 clay modelling club at school
- keep a box of inspiration
- her work is low fi and has a handmade quality, really motivating to see her success as this is the type of work i'm interested in making and sometimes the illustration world can feel dauntingly digital.
- asking questions and illustrating them
- not just illustrating what the book says, going beyond that
- recognising the importance of childhood, making links between what you draw now and what you were interested in drawings as a kid
- history is important
- importance of roughs
- working on multiple roughs at once, means you won't get demotivated, keep the flow
hugely inspirational yes yes yes
