Upper Moreland Primary School Students Experience a 'Whole New World'

Students from Victoria Rondinelli’s art classes in the Upper Moreland Primary School were thrilled to draw along with Timmy Britt, one of only 12 licensed Disney illustrators in the nation.

Britt, an energetic illustrator born and raised in the Philadelphia area, spent an entire day at the primary school drawing such characters as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Tinkerbell and more.

Students, teachers and even Principal Susan Smith had fun creating their own Disney characters along with Britt. These drawings are hanging in the primary school, along with some of Britt’s originals.

Students were able to apply their knowledge of lines, shapes, proportion and scale to their drawings, and with Britt’s guidance and a few “tricks” from the artist, Disney magic was in the air!

The illustrator, who works in Orlando, FL, shared some fascinating and inspiring stories with the students and encouraged them to find their passion, work hard, practice and “Dream Big!”
