“Waste Not!”
2020
Digital illustration and educational activity material,
Valentína Hučková

 

Commissioned educational activity and illustration I created, guiding children to creatively reuse waste when designing characters. My illustrations even made it to the front page of the pack.
During lockdown there were children with little or no access to digital tools to support their creative learning at home. Arts Council England funded “Let’s Create” packs through the National Lottery. Over 25,000 packs were distributed across England through local authorities, schools, food banks and other charities. 

 

The “Let’s Create” packs were filled with art activities and creative resources. The packs aimed to keep children and young people engaged and creative during the COVID-19 lockdown and ensure that children who are currently most in need of support did not miss out on the health, wellbeing, and educational benefits of creativity while away from school.
