Art Books with Year 4 students, Creative Routes at Artsdepot 2007

Creative Routes 2007

A project hosted by Artsdepot in which 5 artists used Raymond Briggs' books as a source of inspiration to create art projects with 10 primary schools based in Barnet.

Twice Upon A Time

A storytelling and bookmaking project with Year 4 students from Manor Side primary school, using Jim and the Beanstalk’ by Raymond Briggs as a source of inspiration. The students created new fairy-tales by revisiting and altering traditional stories, changing the personalities of the characters, combining different stories to generate new storylines and bringing in new heroes and heroines to save the day. The students then transformed their stories into unique sculptural book forms.

SMALL and big:

A moving-image and photography project with Year 6 students from Bell Lane Primary School, inspired by ‘The Man’ by Raymond Briggs, in which the students created four different scenarios using the title ‘Small and Big’, experimenting with perspective, ratio and distance, resulting in moving-image pieces that combine acting, mask-making, drawing and projection work.

'Lost at Sea' and 'Shrinkable Productions'- combining moving-image, acting, projection, painting and puppetry.
