Sad Dog (early reader) Source photo LV Meerkat Family (established reader) I had the idea to portray the word family with meerkats, which are charming, comical creatures likely to appeal to children. Rough sketch form a photo by Thomas Dressler LV I then decided to colour the image by collaging it in photoshop, initially using sand as a texture, since they live in dry terrains, but this proved a bit dull colour wise So I redid it with rust Meerkat shapes used as a layer mask to achieve tonal difference in collage, with cut out line work placed as a top layer for clarity The meerkats in profile looked much more recognisable than those front on because I didn’t take enough care over the initial drawing so I decided to make a collage of one particular meerkat, this also has the advantage that the source photo is not immediately recognisable. I found this much more stylistically pleasing (I do like to repeat an image) and tried another layout. I like the Russian doll effect of my final image and the fact that the collage markings become a 'family trait'. Meerkat Family (established reader) Here's a better crop of the final image I found this exercise quite a struggle as working for children is not my metier. I had to really force myself to sit down and just get on with it, having said that I'm quite pleased with my final images for both age groups. The divides between age groups are certainly not clear cut and there are plenty of darkly coloured illustrations which appeal to children of all ages.

Carl Orff devoted much of his life to music for children. His pioneering work continues under the guidance of teachers and educators in many countries. The five basic German volumes of Music for Children by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman were published between 1950 and 1954. The considerable growth of Orff Schulwerk in the United States led to the publication of the American Edition (1977) to satisfy the requirements of a different educational system and national heritage. Music for Children is a stimulating source of material for music teaching. Contents of this first volume include: speech and rhythmic exercises, nursery rhymes, songs, instrumental pieces and melodic exercises using only the five note scale, with instructions and notes. Illustrated. Includes: Cuckoo ¢ Pat-a-cake ¢ Little Tommy Tucker ¢ Wee Willie Winkie ¢ Bye, baby bunting ¢ Ring-a-ring o'roses ¢ Grey goose and gander Walk down the path ¢ Two little dicky birds ¢ Tommy's fallen in the pond ¢ Unk, unk, unk ¢ Tom, Tom the piper's son ¢ My little pony ¢ Cross-patch ¢ Warm hands warm ¢ Shoe the little horse ¢ Polly put the kettle on ¢ Cuckoo, where are you? ¢ Early to bed ¢ The baker ¢ The day is now over ¢ Little Boy Blue ¢ There was an old woman ¢ One to make ready ¢ The north wind doth blow ¢ O Lady Mary Ann ¢ I love sixpence ¢ Ding, dong, the bells do ring ¢ The Campbells are coming ¢ The grand old Duke of York ¢ Oliver Crombwell ¢ Allelujy ¢ Where are you going to, my pretty maid? ¢ Farewell to the Old Year ¢ Pippa's song ¢ The cuckoo is a clever bird ¢ Old Angus McTavish ¢ Boomfallera
