The home of the geobirds

Which background colour would you pick?

1, 2, 3, 4 ?

So so pleased with how my house martin geobird turned out. I saw some of these guys at @ntberrington back in August, and stood and watched the little ones being fed for a few minutes.

This is a part of a little sub-series called Art 4 Maths Books, using the squares of a maths book....

I think art should be given as much value in school as Maths, English, and other 'core' subjects.

What do you think?

Here's my reasoning.

Creativity is killed in our current system, focussing on more serious core subjects.

Everything we see, touch, and use has been impacted by a creative person.

In primary school art is generally embraced as a big part of learning. Experimenting, freedom of thought and creativity are celebrated. It's taught with as much enthusiasm as Maths and English, and children love it.

But as schooling gets more 'serious', art is pushed to the back of the pack, and in my experience not really taken seriously.

My art lessons were taught by my history teacher and sometimes my PE teacher for long periods of time. Maths, was always Mrs Moult. A very serious, strict and brilliant teacher.

I was just lucky to have a brilliant Mum, who embraced my need to be creative at home.

I wonder why it's given such a low value?

Yes, everyone needs Maths and English, I totally agree with this, and I'm not saying art should replace it in any way. I'm just saying that for the right person, art guidance is what they need.

It think maybe the impression is that, there are no serious careers in art, and that perhaps Maths and English leads to a more structured career, the path to accountancy is well trodden.

But some people just need to create.

I also think that business studies should be partnered with art.

How many artists (and I'm not just talking about painting and illustrating , but designers, musicians, poets etc) are we quashing in school and railroaded into a lifetime of excel spreadsheets?

So this series, is my way for kids to be creative, even in the most serious of subjects.

I love their call. It's straight out the land of dinosaurs. When you hear it, look for a telegraph pole. They love using them as a vantage point 💚
