Imagination Land is fun, colourful and out of this world - definitely not something you would see on Earth. I made it with things I like. I love art, music, going to the cinema and sweets. I wanted to create lots of things rather than one thing, so I created a whole land with lots of different places. Some of the things I just thought of but some of them were inspired by real life. For example my teacher once told me about a boy who drew a room in his mouth, so that’s why I drew a slide inside a head. Georgie Candypants is a character Daddy made up for bedtime stories so that’s why I added his cottage to my picture. My inspiration for the bookstand was books about characters called Tim and Tim Jr that I have written with my friend. The bug with a cowboy hat is inpsired by Taylor Swift. My materials were markers, pencil and colouring pencils. I like using pencils because you can rub it out if you make a mistake. I like markers because they’re bright and strong for colouring in. I want my artwork to make people feel happy. This is a happy place, full of things I love. I hope they will feel happy and joyful.
