Denzell Dankwah is a Croydon-born Ghanaian, based in Northampton and is a young illustrator. Denzell’s art is heavily influenced by comic books and graphic novels as his love for the medium is what encouraged him to start drawing. ‘Superheroes: Inspiring Stories of Secret Strength’ is his first book and was published by Merky Books. You may remember, Denzell came to Chestnut last year for World Book Day where he worked with many classes on using illustrations!

Frida Kahlo began to paint in 1925, while recovering from a bus accident.  She was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artefacts of Mexico.Over the next three decades, she would produce a relatively small body of work. She is praised for her meticulously executed paintings.

Claude Monet was a French painter and founder of impressionist painting. He was meticulous with his level of detail in his paintings. His paintings are mainly inspired by nature and he often painted the same scene again and again to show all the variations of light and shadow.
