Another project finished today. I made the heading the feature and am quite pleased with how it turned out.

Multiple intelligences

Posted on Tuesday 26 February 2008

playgroup.jpg

Dr. Howard Gardner theory of multiple intelligences uses linguistic intelligence (word smart), Logical-mathematical intelligence (“number/reasoning smart”), Spatial intelligence (“picture smart”), Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence (“body smart”), Musical intelligence (“music smart”), Interpersonal intelligence (“people smart”), Intrapersonal intelligence (“self smart”) and Naturalist intelligence (“nature smart”) to identify human potential in children and adults. I visited a playgroup to gather ideas for a poster I am working on and could see this theory already at work simply by the choice of activity that the children had made. Here are four different examples, can you pick out which intelligence they match? If your interested in knowing more about where you fit, take the test here.

The Musician

Posted on Tuesday 19 February 2008

I’ve been wanting to draw this for quite a while as I thought all the different patterns and colours would be effective. Drawn in illustrator and painted in photoshop.

a little music

I’m having fun experimenting with making my own fonts, infact there’s nearly as much work in the writing as in the picture (except the letters will be able to be reused). Maybe I can use this design for a birthday card sometime?

It wouldn’t be January without a swimming picture. The heat is back here in Melbourne, Australia with temperatures reaching into the forty’s already. So its off to the pools to cool off.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Posted on Monday 24 December 2007

Didn’t have time for a drawing this week – I’ve been very busy getting organised. I’ve also been without my scanner/printer for a couple of weeks now, which has made it very difficult to get my drawings onto the computer.

Anyway, found this on the web and thought it’d be a nice way to remember the meaning of Christmas.

Little things?

This illustration was just completed for a school DVD cover. I thought I could get away with entering it for little things, after all they are the preps of the school (the cutest and littlest).
