Here is a PEEK at some of the great illustrations pupils at Groggan & Parkgate Primary Schools have created. I'm also posting a link to VIMEO, where an animated sequence of each school's creations has been posted (click on the LINK menu to your right).

- All pupils did brilliantly & both schools made me very welcome.
- These illustrations are part of a bigger project, called Origins. At this stage there were 5 primary schools and 3 artists involved - all illustrating stories local to their areas.
- Before us, there were photographs taken & memories from local folk recorded.
- After us, there will be a book and a website!
- This has been a great project & already we can all see how much more we could do with all the wonderful artwork created. It has been great to have a decent chunck of time with the schools, so pupils have had time to become familiar with materials & develop their very unique & creative ideas fully. It's also been great for me to have enough time to get to know the pupils during the project. I hope funders still remember the importance of time in the creative process in these challenging budget times ahead of us all & the importance of creativity . . .
- A big thanks to Desima for a great project & to all the pupils who engaged so brilliantly with this process!
