Welcome to the wonderful results of our latest weekend challenge all about illustrating song lyrics. This challenge was thanks to Beckie Andrews who created this beautiful illustration below celebrating the song by Ocean Colour Scene – Travellers Tune.
Also special mention to Mila who has illustrated her own music video. She created the video and music and sang too. Scroll to see the artwork and video below – both amazing!!
We know that our students have thoroughly enjoyed this weekends challenge. You can see by the results what a beautiful and ingenious array of artwork it has produced.
