The children had a fantastic morning learning about our local area as well as art and animation on our visit to Spirit Bridge Art Studio at the Canal Basin, Coventry.
We discovered many listed buildings and local landmarks on our walk to the studios such as the Weaver’s House, medieval Spon Street, St John the Baptist Church, Coventry Cathedral, the Belgrade Theatre and the old Coventry Telegraph building,
On arrival to the Canal Basin the Creative Directors, Ben and Pritpal, kindly gave us a tour of the area and their studio. They explained how their building had been repurposed from a boat-repair industrial unit into a state-of-the-art creative studio.
We were treated to an exclusive preview of the animation team’s audio-book and TV series – Bucky the Unicorn Bear. The children learnt all about the entire process of creating an animated film from initial sketching to story-boarding to full digital production!
We had a live drawing tutorial and created our very own sketches of the main characters from the animated series.
The Spirit Bridge team were so welcoming and we even got a special visit from Bucky The Unicorn Bear!
We cant wait for the official book launch of Bucky The Unicorn Bear and The Elves of Christmas Eve, this coming Saturday! Get your copy before it sells out!
