A New Direction are recruiting a Freelance Visual Artist/Illustrator
Stratford Explorers is a Heritage Lottery funded project managed by A New
Direction. 60 pupils from two local primary schools are working with
Stratford residents from local community groups to explore the changes to
Stratford within living memory, focussing particularly on the architectural
and industrial history of the area.
Working with Eastside Community Heritage, pupils will interview residents
and gather oral histories about the area. These, together with research
undertaken at the London Transport Museum, Museum of London Docklands, and
through the local archive, will form the basis of an illustrated heritage
guided walk leaflet, and an accompanying exhibition of the pupils’ work.
We are looking for a freelance illustrator or visual artist with experience
of working with primary age pupils to support museum visits and run a series
of in-school workshops developing the guided walk and exhibition, and to
produce the final piece of work. The work is planned to take place between
mid February and end May 2012 (with the majority taking place mid March –
end May), with the leaflet to be produced by the end of June. We will also
be developing a KS2 resource to accompany the project, for launch in
September along with the exhibition.
Workshop dates are available on request.
