This blog is a place to share research, experiences and inspirations around teaching and the world of Early Childhood Education —which I believe includes just about anything and everything creative.

U N I F O R M Studio “designs and makes simple, modern clothing and accessories for infants, children, and adults.” This journal is an everyday read for me. M is an inspiration and being able to have a peek into her process and what inspires her, is a simple pleasure of mine.

Inspired by the work of Andy Goldsworthy, Richard uses texture, colour and light in the great outdoors as his mediums. This amazing collection of photos of art within nature, has left me in awe. For more details on Richard work, visit his blog Land Art.

Construction of Identity

self

Self-taught photographer Carles Roig worked closely with 35 students (20 girls and 15 boys) and 6 teachers in a Barcelona school, for over eight years. The concept: ‘Construction of Identity’. Through photography and art, Carles along with the children, documented their journey – making it available to us via this website.

Thanks for being in touch Carles – this is a truly inspiring project.

Do something creative, Every day

04_22

Marcus Fischer, a multimedia artist and musician currently living in Portland, Oregon, set a goal to do something creative everyday – today is day 100, way to go!

A few words from Marcus:

“The goal has been to do something creative everyday for a year and document it in a blog. I started it to try and motivate myself to be more productive and for it to act as a creative catalyst to get me started on larger projects. I never expected it to go so well… I also wasn’t even sure that i’d make it this long.

Through this project, not only have I felt the most productive that I have in years (maybe ever) i have also had the opportunity to become acquainted with some really great people that I would never have met otherwise. I would like to say thanks to everyone that has been so kind and supportive… it has really kept me gong on this.”

Inspiring.
