Illustrate A Story

We have written a story about each period in our Times Past section. We would like you to have a go at illustrating some of those stories.
Who Can Do It

This project can be done by anyone but we would suggest that it is most suitable for those between the ages of 9 and 13.

What You'll Need

Paper, pens, paints, crayons or pencils. You may need a scanner or camera so you can upload it to your school's website.

How To Do It

A set of instructions, in PDF format, for teachers to hand out is here.
When You've Finished

When you have completed the project, feel free to upload it to the special part of your school website called Owlbut's World of Learning. However, only examples sent to the following email address will be judged and, if successful, put on our site.

Please send your picture to story@owlbut.co.uk, to reach us by 31st July 2025. During the following year, we will take a look at all the ones sent in and, in January 2026, we will choose the best two illustrations for each story and upload them to the appropriate story page on our site. The name of the artist will be displayed and they will receive a certificate.

The pictures will stay on the site forever. Yay.

NOTE: You will retain full copyright of your picture. However, by sending it to us, you give us permission to upload it to this site.
