GDES2014 CHILDREN'S BOOK DESIGN AT THE BEELINE STORYTELLING FEST 2019

A huge thanks to GDES2014 students who offered to help out at the Beeline Storytelling Festival. We worked alongside artist Sarah Edwards of Spare Room Arts to help KS2 local schoolchildren to create 'Jack and the Beanstalk' artwork elements to go on Sarah's giant beanstalk.

A busy but great day and one in which not only did the students get to have some fun but also to learn more about KS2 level children (of whom they're designing for with their assessed brief this time).


Here's a selection of pictures taken of students and their work alongside Sarah and the schoolchildren on the day [click on image to expand it].

The giant's classic phrase from the story brought to life in collage.

Green! You've gotta love bright green hands..

Student Lauren helps schoolchildren compose their ideas.
