Hello,
Just found the fascinating "drawingpower" site.
I am a fourth year BEd(Hons) student at University of North London planning
a research project on how drawing and model making can develop children's
understanding of literature. I am particularly interested in whether the
practice of drawing in response to literature can a) develop children's
ability to create pictures in their head when reading text and b) bridge the
gap between oracy and "letteracy" (Papert, 1994) by developing children's
literary comprehension during the period in which their reading and writing
skills are catching up.
I would be grateful if you can put me in contact with anyone conducting
similar research or suggest research which has already been done in this
field. I will be happy to share my findings.
Regards
Dolly Tobin
