Art You Grew Up With Education
The Art You Grew Up With Exclusive Disney and Marvel Artist Masterclasses are coming to Bower Park School as part of the H2H (Hollywood 2 Havering) event. Some of the top artists working in the industry today share with you the skills and tricks that are used in practically all of the creative industries including Comics, Graphic Novels, Television, Films and Video Games. This is a great rewarding career!
You'll have quality time with four of the industry's best talents; Disney's Alan Batson, Marvel's Andie Tong and Gary Erskine, and cartoonist Huw-J. Between them, they are responsible for some of the most renowned and respected comics and books, characters and stories you've grown up with; Spider-Man, Iron Man, Superman, Captain America, Monsters Inc, Disney Fairies and Princesses, Winnie the Pooh, and much more!

Russell Singler, CEO of Art You Grew Up With Ltd, said "After doing our classes, and listening to some of the industry's greatest talents, we de-mystify the comic, film and the video game industry by showing you the techniques needed to create your characters, how a story is told in picture form, how to make your character look like a hero, even fashion design - how to clothe and style your characters". It's fun, anyone can do it, and an amazing opportunity to learn from the best in the industry."

"In the age of remote web clips, and video instruction, nothing beats being in the same room with a high profile industry professional, being able to ask questions and get the immediate answers you need. This is truly a special opportunity to get a taste of how it's all done, and more importantly, how YOU can do it too!"

We spoke with Huw-J, one of the artists teaching the Marvel Masterclass, and asked him what he felt were some of the benefits to doing the class. He said "The Classes have taught the kids to feel more confident about their self image, determination, and their creative ability. We help the kids develop a passion for communicating their ideas and worldview through their drawings."
