GALLERY NOW ADDED FROM OUR DRAWING DAY FRIDAY 14th MAY
If you enjoyed The Third Wave in January and March of the Monsters, we know you have all been waiting patiently during April for the launch of our next drawing challenge! Well it's here- Manga May!
It's simple! Manga May is a week long Manga and Anime drawing challenge. There is a prompt each day this week below. Follow the drawing tutorial or choose your own character each day! Follow the rules for Manga and Anime or find your own style! Be creative!
Last year we celebrated National Drawing Day 'together at home.' This year in A7 and A4 we can draw TOGETHER on Friday and prepare for our very own NDD activity-Studio Ghibli Saturday. To end our week we are encouraging you to watch a Studio Ghibli movie, be inspired by the mind of a master 'Hayao Miyazaki' and draw your favourite character on Saturday!
May is also the month to create awareness of Mental Health. So connect with friends through this challenge. Talk about what we have all experienced this past year as you get creative. This year we are together in school! To find out more about Jigsaw-The National Centre for Youth Mental Health click here.
