Down to London after school today for the launch of a new set of education resources to support the teaching of migration stories using illustration, and an exhibition of art, including some original pieces by Olivier Kugler, from his wonderful book 'Escaping Wars and Waves'.
The House of Illustration is part of the new King's Place / Granary Square development, which houses St. Martin's School of Art - my wife went there when it was housed in Long Acre.
We found out about the launch of their new education resources for Primary, with a talk from a teacher who had used them with her class - some really nice work had been created.
We heard about the importance of the visual language of illustration to go along with spoken and written word.
We had an introduction to the House of Illustration's materials here (all free to download)
We also heard from Emily from Positive Negatives, who had a Secondary focus.
We were shown a powerful animation they had created with an illustrator, and work of secondary educators - see a maths link up here that we were shown.
We were shown some excellent work, again all free to download.
We also had a talk from Karrie Fransman, who created this powerful animation North Star Fading.
This forthcoming event looks excellent: on the power of illustration too.
These are all well worth exploring....
