El Limonar International School visit.
This week our Chief Illustrator Steve Keeping visited El Limonar International School in Villa Martin, close to Torrevieja along the Costa Blanca coast, some two hour’s drive south from our studio in Villalonga.
El Limonar International School, established in 1990, is a fully private, English and Spanish bilingual school for students from ages 3 to 18. Although the majority of students are Spanish, there are over 20 nationalities of worldwide origin. Steve’s trip was to give the children ranging from 6 to 10 year olds a little insight into the world of book illustrating and writing, letting the children meet an artist for the first time, who wasn’t just a name on the inside of a book, but a real person who could actually react with them, and more importantly answer many of the questions that they had already prepared.
Certificates were awarded to several students who had exceeded in their reading capabilities. The three separate classes were also given a small drawing competition which was undertaken by over 100 children. Steve was very impressed indeed with the school and also how splendidly the children reacted to his visit and how well they behaved, a real credit to both the teachers and their head mistress. Well done children and hopefully we will see you again in the not too distant future.
