Here’s a little selection of pictures from projects I’ve done in schools from last term.
And here’s a short conversation between 7 year olds I wrote down word-for-word:
First child: “I like art because I don’t have to do just one thing. I can do a project, stop and not think. Then I can go back to my work and do something new and let my imagination run riot”
Second child: “But imagination can’t run or walk. It can only get bigger. It doesn’t have legs. It’s not human”
Every day when I get up early to do a day in a school, I feel tired and wish I could stay at home and work on my own stuff. Then I get to school and the moment a child speaks to me I know I’m in the right place and working with children is the best job in the world.
