Artist Kim Thompson gives a presentation.
On Wednesday 26th October we welcomed illustrator Kim Thompson to deliver a fascinating workshop titled ‘Taking up Space: Growth, Identity, and the Importance of representation in Illustration’. The first hour was a detailed and inspiring account of how Kim went from a young person interested in art to a well-established illustrator (with many interesting detours in between). This was then followed by some exercises designed to promote inspiration and creativity by simply making art for yourself. This workshop was relatable and (at times) hilarious, with motivating advice for those wanting to pursue a creative career sprinkled throughout.
