This would make an interesting project: take one of the pillars around school and work on a large scale drawing that fits it top to bottom. Draw inspiration for different architecture around London but create a hybrid of different styles and imaginary structures. You could map it out as a smaller drawing first of all and then use an OHP to enlarge sections and trace the original drawing on site. Try drawing a few continuous line drawings of natural forms such as leaves, trees, bit of bark, etc. to fill an entire page. Then work into them by transforming them into montHave a look at this artist's work for more ideas by clicking below:
The following site is dedicated to documenting artistic representations of monsters and is worth browsing through for ideas: This animation is a great example of how the internet has allowed illustrators and designers to collaborate.

Ekaterina Panikanova is an artist that paints on books to create large scale installations.

A fascinating video about the South African animator William Kentridge and his working process. It feels very liberating to start out with a documentary photograph and then constructing a narrative as one works. Kentridge was famous for depicting the apartheid between white and black people in South Africa through the use of animation. Here is a collection of his animations called 'Pain & Sympathy': An interesting video about Stephen Wiltshire, who has a photographic memory and has drawn many cityscapes after a brief encounter.
