The Task was to do an illustration for the article:Our children are not wild enough
The writer's main argument was about problems with education where children aren't feral enough, Children are being forced to spend too long in the classrooms while they can execute the same amount of knowledge if they are left to explore the natural world ."Instead of being encouraged to observe and explore and think and develop, children are being treated like geese in a foie gras farm." George Monblot
Sketching trying to visualise the article text where the writer stated that :
"Within a few minutes, I had them picking up crabs and poking anenomes. When I showed that they could eat live prawns out of the net they were horrified, but curiosity and bravado conquered disgust, and one after another they tried them. Raw prawns are as sweet as grapes: some of the children were soon shovelling them into their mouths. I don't think there was anyone in the group who managed not to fall into the water. But no one complained.
In the woods the next day we paddled in a stream, rolled down a hill, ate blackberries, tasted mushrooms, had helicopter races with sycamore keys, explored an ant's nest, broke sticks and collected acorns. Most had never done any of these things before,"
Visualizing that children are being imprisoned inside the educational institutions (Pencils as schools and books as fence) while the the actual knowledge in the books can be executed from exploring the natural world.
