How to draw funny cartoons. Simple guide to improve your drawing skills. Write Comics Useful site for student choice. Wide variety. Tony DiTerlizzi - Illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi is the illustrator of the Caldecott Honor Book The Spider and the Fly and the coauthor and illustrator of the best-selling The Spiderwick Chronicles. He grew up in an artistic household in South Florida and quickly gravitated toward fantasy and whimsical stories. RIF: What was your inspiration for the idea and art of The Spiderwick Chronicles? Tony DiTerlizzi: I am a tremendous fan of old fairy tales like those of the brothers Grimm and Hans Anderson. Holly and I have both written before (Holly has written several young adult novels, and I several picture books), so we met halfway in the format of middle reader books and collaborated together on the plot and story arcs. Unlike other author/illustrator collaborations, though, we constantly exchanged feedback blurring the lines of our roles in an effort to create the best book possible. RIF: Are you a part of The Spiderwick Chronicles movie ? TD: I do as much research as necessary.

Men hur gör man då för att lära känna varandra? Om man frågar en lärare om tips på samarbetsövningar eller lärakänna-övningar så kan ni säkert få en drös av heta stolen, 4hörn, oavslutade meningar, intervjua varandra, pusselbitar att rita på, sugrörstorn osv.. Men på senare år har vi fått fler verktyg att använda, så varför inte vidareutveckla eller modernisera de verktyg vi redan har? Eftersom jag har en hel del IKTverktyg att laborera med och fått inspiration från många olika ställen, tänkte jag ge några bra förslag. Podradio.
