THE

Sensible pencil Art heroes

SUPER CARICATURES On Wednesday 9th January, Year 3 had a visit from Chrissy Marshall, a.k.a. ‘Sensible Pencil’. Chrissy is ‘one of Britain’s best live caricaturists’. He was invited into Abbey Juniors to help to open Year 3’s new topic for this term, ‘Superheroes’. First, the children went to the hall, where Chrissy showed them how to draw cartoon faces. He made it look so easy! The children had a go too, looking at a selection of different facial features. Later on that day, Chrissy did workshops in the classrooms, showing the children how to draw a superhero! He started off by drawing a simple stick man, then adding details. In each class he created a ‘Class Superhero’. The children were really enthused by the experience. We wouldn’t be surprised is we see some professional cartoonists from Abbey Juniors in the future! Thanks to Ms. Bevan for the story.
