"I
make illustrations simple in concept but
rich in details. By making them three dimensional,
they have the reality and life of photography,
with the expression and creativity of drawing
and painting."

When
David visits schools, he talks to students
about his books and the process of creating
them. He answers as many questions as the
students can ask and then introduces them
to the art of making paper sculpture using
sculptures he has designed. Each student
will have the opportunity to make a paper
sculpture.

"David Miller was fantastic!! The grades 3-6 were fascinated by his method of paper sculpture and had lots of questions to ask. The powerpoint presentation that showed how he built up a figure was great and they enjoyed finishing off by having a go at the paper sculpture themselves... Thanks for organising such an inspiring visit."
- Jenny Butler, St Bede's Primary School
"David Miller's presentation was professional... The students were astounded by his graphics. He split his presentation into segments, talking, viewing, cutting... I appreciated his pro-active correspondence before the visit."
- Daria Knight, Sacre Coeur
"Fantastic, sensational, brilliant, fascinating, held students interest entire time."
- Helen Taylor, Geelong Grammar School
"David was very generous with his time and not disturbed when the sessions went overtime. Everyone was impressed with his presentation and the standard of his art work. Children enjoyed the hands on activity."
- Margaret Collins, St Mark's Dingley. |
