Illustration course // Denmark / Viborg / VIA University College /

Illustration course //  Denmark / Viborg / VIA University College / the Animation Workshop /
Tina was invited to work together with a group of 14 students from all over the world, to give lectures on editorial illustration.
Within one week, Tinas talented students created amazing illustrations, learned about the business aspect of being a freelance illustrator, practised different roles within the profession (for example Art Director), and also had to follow set briefs with tight deadlines.
Inbetween concentrated, mainly analog drawing sessions, they experimented with fun session warmups, Art-games and had regular breaks with healthy food.
Altogether, the course is a good foundation, both artistically and technically, for building up a career as an illustrator and Tina was happy to have been invited and have the chance to work alongside so many other highly skilled colleagues.
Thanks Maria from VIA, the  Animation Workshop and thanks dear students

special coaster collection about women's right

Every year since 2002, Montreal’s Anna Goodson Illustration Agency has created a special collection of drink coasters to give to clients and friends.

Each coaster is a work of art by one of the agency’s illustrators, with a focus on an important social issue. “We produce a collection of coasters to showcase the work of the illustrators we represent and to address an important causes that we feel strongly about,” Goodson told The Message. Art, she believes, can be a driver of social change. “It’s my way of addressing important social issues that I feel are important.”
This year’s theme is #OurBodiesOurChoices, addressing a woman’s right to choose what to do with her body.

“I have to say that this year’s concept is very important to me with all that is going on regarding women,” said Goodson. “Abortion rights, the #MeToo movement, body image, there are so many and I wanted to address them, especially the right to choose. It’s hard to believe we are still talking about overturning abortion rights in 2019.”

One week in nature, one week of creating, one week to make new friends and experiment with materials.
Tina Zellmer was asked to work together with a group of "kids" between 6 and 17 years old and help them to discover their creative potential and to show them "different" ways to express themselfs. Together in nature, next to a river nearby Berlin, they made illustrations, foto, prints and landart.
Be creative together, let the phantasie play and give way to your ideas.
