Preparation for Ricardo Cavolo

For your next piece of work, you will be illustrating a favourite film, book, group, festival etc. 
In preparation for Monday's lesson, please print off some images of the favourite band, film or event. The event that I have chosen is the Woodstock Festival in 1969. Therefore, I have pics of Janis Joplin, Jimi, Ravi and Pete Townsend.

Colouring Type

Make sure you wear headphones when listening to my tutorials! I really don't need to hear two versions of my voice in my room. 

This tutorial is useful for students who have pages of black and white type they wish to colour. When you watch, it will state that you have to make a full A-Z. Feel free to ignore this.
