Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

Pablo Picasso

I WANT ALL MY IMAGES TO BE FOUND.

FRONT COVERS, ADVERTS, PHOTOGRAPHS THAT COULD BE ALBUM COVERS, PORTRAITS, POSTERS, CAREFUL NOT TO USE IMAGES THAT ARE ALREADY SOMEBODY'S WORK.

DISSERTATION ...

Child art and artists inspired by child like art styles

2001 Whitworth exhibition on child art - Wonderland? 

Children as audience in an art gallery

Galleries that embrace children - workshops, activities, encouragement 

Interpretation of art work, all audiences 

Artists that encourage a specific response and interpretation, and those that leave it to the viewer

EARLY DISSERTATION IDEAS

Creativity & imagination
Importance of creativity in education
Importance of creativity outside of the art industries and in every walk of life - innovation
Children and craft, imagination with materials
Differences between adults and children in terms of craft and creativity
Childhood fascination with tactile and brightly coloured objects
Art and craft bringing out the child in adults
Do successful artists have the ability to use their imagination in a childlike way to come up with ideas, have they maintained that from childhood?

Potential for interviews, case studies and external project at the Whitworth Gallery (child and adult programmes).
