Children's Anthologies and Animations 2002-2013
Creating Animations
From 2007 the children engaged with the project were given a chance to explore language and poetry through other creative arts. Working with arts partners including storyteller Jan Blake, animator Tom Cross and poets Aoife Mannix and Coral Rumble the children were given opportunities to publish and share their work through new media. The animations below are a small selection of the creative work developed through these arts partnerships.
