The Little Girl and the Wolf. Saki Watanabe, 2010

Taking the story of Little Red Riding Hood as inspiration, Saki wrote and illustrated her own fairy tale 'The Little Girl and the Wolf'. Her beautiful drawings were created in an original way. She watched Youtube clips of 1940s-50s  performances of the works of Shakespeare. When she found a character and pose that she liked, she paused the movie, took out her sketchbook and drew directly from the screen. She adjusted the drawings, added tone and texture and achieved a fabulous outcome
When Saki applied for university, both Chelsea and Middlesex felt that with what she had achieved on the Access course, she could skip the first year of their degree programme and go directly into the second year!
