I started New Ghosts project last week, so i`m working with two classes at Falinge School in Rochdale for Cartwheel Arts. I`m going to be working with the classes, so the children can produce their own artists book based around myths/legends in Rochdale.
My first two sessions went really well….my tuesday group were very enthusiastic and full to the brim with ideas….the monday group today were more cautious, so i think a completely different approach is needed. We looked at various book artists and discussed what an artist book is…..here are some of the artists we looked at…
In both groups i asked them to use their first letter of their first name to create a design that told a story about themselves….there were lots of brilliant ideas…..I thought we`d create an origami book of all our ideas and designs for our final book and this would be the perfect first page.
