Here are the occasional reflections of a joyful traveller along the strange pathways of fantasy and adventure. All my reviews are independent and unsolicited. I read many books that I don’t feel sufficiently enthusiastic about to review at all. Rather, this blog is intended as a celebration of the more interesting books I stumble across on my meandering reading journey, and of the important, life-affirming experiences they offer. It is but a very small thank you for the wonderful gifts their writers give.

Children As Artists

And now, for once, something completely different.

If anyone is interested, I have just started a new blog where I will be building up an archive of (I think) breathtaking artwork by KS2 children, collected during my many years of teaching. Over time, I will also be developing a bank of notes pages, explaining the teaching approaches and principles that lay behind this work.

I have always believed that children deserve to be considered artists in their own right. I hope this blog will go some way towards demonstrating their truly amazing potential as well as perhaps inspiring other teachers to have high expectations of their own young artists.

The new blog can be found at ChildrenAsArtists.blogspot.com. I hope you will enjoy it.
