An ambition of mine has always been to travel to other countries and teach children, this was only amplified during our professional talk with Rose Nordin during employability week seen here
OUGD602 - Rose Nordin - Professional Talk & Zine Workshop. She talked about the possibility of grants and government funding to plan teaching abroad which therefore pushed me into getting some experience in teaching art. I therefore volunteered at Hovingham Primary School to go and run an art class with the children. I also thought that this would be a great opportunity to fill my CV with work experience.
The art class which I ran at the school was with a set of year 3 students, I decided to share my passion (book design) with the students to hopefully get them enthusiastic about the creative industries. Each of the children designed a page of a book using pen, paint and collage techniques which I then photocopied and turned into a publication with a french fold bind. Seeing the children excited about creating was such a fulfilling experience for me, hopefully I will have inspired some of them to pursue their own careers within the creative industries.
