A very striking campaign to fight against verbal violence. I love the way they use sound waves as scars to denounce that violence.

Possible exploitation: We could use the concept of representing sounds thanks to sound waves in a very specific purpose: writing a dialogue? Drawing a cartoon with sound waves? What do you think?

Based on the same concept as Mouron & Rostain's trash to describe a character, James Mollison chose to compare the child to his or her bedroom.

Possible exploitation: As for the project presented before, teachers can use the photos/concept to make pupils imagine the bedroom of a character for example.

James Mollison's website

Jamie, 9, New-York

Kaya, 4, Tokyo

Lamine, 12, Senegal

  Dong, 9, China

Jasmine, 4 , Kentucky (USA)

The idea comes from Stéphanie Cialone and I love it!

Based on the works by Mouron & Rostain. They collected stars' trash and made an exhibition.

Possible exploitation: teachers can adapt the idea to a lesson about mass consumption or household-waste sorting for example. It could also be a way to describe the character of a novel for example or even a country,  description based on their trash. Thus the project could be dealing with stereotypes too.

Waouh.... It's just.... brilliant! I'm really impressed by the work made by the two pupils. Congratulations guys! You rock!

MTV Campaign: story within the book

The Fifth Child.

We decided to use the concept of MTV Campaign: story within the song for the Fifth Child. So, it represents the story of The Fifth Child with pictures in chronological order. We are going to explain it picture by picture.

                The one in the center represents Harriet and David and they are in the center because they are central in the book and they are at the origin of the whole story.

 1 > Represents love at first sight between Harriet & David.

2  > Illustrates searching and buying of the house. The “home”.

3 > Shows the important place of the bed and represents the first time they make love.

4 > Symbolizes the financial help of James Lovatt.

5 > It is Luke’s birth. A normal and calm baby.

6 >  The first family party with the important place of the table where all the family gather.

7 >  It is Helen’s birth. Once again a normal baby.

8 > Once again a family party.

9 > Jane’s birth. We put the picture smaller than the others to symbolize the fact that she is really invisible in the family during the entire story.

10 > Represents the happiness of Lovatt’s family.

11 > Two rings with one broken which symbolizes the important quarrels between Sarah & William.

12 > Birth of Paul. We chose the picture of baby crying to represent the fact he’s a sad child who demands so much attention. We put him bigger than the other because he stays at home a longer time than the other children and because with his problem with Ben, is has a more important place.

13 > Materializes the quarrel between the members of Lovatt’s family.

14 > Harriet is pregnant of Ben and she suffer, she becomes paranoid. We chose a picture of the movie  Rosemary’s baby because Rosemary is disturb as Harriet. And the knife symbolizes the fact that she wants to kill Ben.

15 > Harriet goes to Dr Brett and he says that everything is normal and he gives her sedatives.

16 > Represents Amy, the Down syndrome baby of Sara & William.

17 > Ben new born. Very ugly and strong baby. The picture of Ben is on the side of Harriet (picture central) because she is the only one who cares about him.

18 > The beginning of the quarrels between Harriet & David about Ben. We chose a picture with silhouettes to put on the light the difference with the beginning of the story (picture one) which symbolized also with picture with silhouette.

19 > It is when Ben kills dog.

20 > It is when Ben kills Mr Mac Grégor, the cat.

21 > Ben show his monster face when he eats raw chicken.

22 >  Harriet takes Ben to Dr Brett because of his behavior.

23 > The family put Ben on the Institution.

24 > Epitomizes confinement of Ben in the institution and his strength, the fact that he wants to survive.

25 > Two parts : When Harriet takes Ben of the institution and after, when she looks after him and tries make him able to live in the society.

26 > Represents the violence of Ben and his anger against Harriet.

27 > It’s a picture of John and Ben. Hapiness of the little boy.
