BA (Hons) Illustration
Mary Asamoah
My illustration of Hans Christian Andersenâs âThe ugly ducklingâ, is portrayed through different mediums to answer to my sub theme of âsensoryâ.
My project focusses on creating designs to caterer for primary school children, within their learning environments â particularly those who struggle with learning difficulties such as dyslexia.
I aim to allow the authorâs message to resonate through my project: âit does not matter if youâre born in a duckâs yard, so long as you are hatched from a swanâs eggâ. This perfectly emphasises my own narrative / message I wish to portray to a young audience â no matter the adversities, in terms of learning difficulties, children can overcome this through commitment and hard work, i.e. âhatchingâ.
Critically addressing childrenâs self-esteem in their learning will always harvest great potential on their journey into adulthood.
