These pictures are the result of an ambitious art project devised and compiled by artist Jessica Perry.
More than 1000 children, aged between 5 and 15, were ask to draw 'how they travelled'.
Children from the Aylsham Cluster Group of schools and from seven overseas partners contributed, as follows:
Aldborough County Primary School - Japan;
Colby Primary School – India;
Erpingham Primary School – Norway;
Hevingham Primary School – China;
Marsham Primary School – Germany;
Buxton Primary School – Poland;
John of Gaunt Nursery and First School – Cambodia.
St Michael’s Nursery and First School;
Aylsham High School;
Bure Valley School, Aylsham;
North Walsham Pupil Referral Unit;
Each local school established a connection with an overseas school, and a process of sharing drawings began.
With much prolonged co-ordination across the postal services, Jessica collected all the drawings, and created 4 x A1 collages that combined every mode of transport tgat each child had drawn.
This project gave all involved a fascinating insight into the concept and comparisons of travel.
The finished collages were exhibited in a local gallery, and large prints of each collage were given to each partner school.
The full set of 4 prints are on permanent display in Aylsham High School.
