Explorer’s Drawing and Writing sheets were commissioned by the Brunei Gallery for Julia Winckler’s Retracing Heinrich Barth exhibition. The sheets were used as part of the education programme. School groups, college students and members of the public were encouraged to use them during visits and workshops in the gallery space. The sheets were produced to inspire visitors to map their experiences of the exhibition in pictures and words.

Marysa Dowling’s photographic study ‘The Movement of an Object’ was commissioned by The Photographers’ Gallery as part of their off-site project programme. The project involved a collaborative process between thirty individuals across London and the passage of a single banal object between them. The resulting series of images are published here, alongside these intriguing portraits are essays by Chris Townsend and Helen James and a selection of Dowling’s other work.

We were commissioned to produce a half-year pilot planner with ‘Study Tips’ supplied by time management researchers in the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at the University of Reading. The university is one of the partners for LearnHigher, a consortium of 16 universities who share best practice in diverse areas of student learning.
One thousand students at the University received a planner in January 2008. Their feedback and comments will be collected and a full academic year planner will be produced for LearnHigher institutions in 2008/09.
Drawing-a-Day foldedsheets were specially commissioned for the BigDraw@Brighton and University College Falmouth. Both events were organised in association with the Campaign for Drawing and LearnHigher Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning.
selected text from the BigDraw@Brighton sheet:
TheBigDraw@Brighton is a chance to explore and share the role that drawing plays in each discipline and to discover new uses: improving observation skills, reinforcing memory, generating and communicating ideas or mapping structures. The Drawing-a-Day map is a different way of exploring your visual thinking and it’s as easy to use as a regular sketchbook. You can still concentrate on one panel at a time – what’s different is that you can also spread the sheet out to display a whole sequence. Strong enough to fold and re-fold as often as you like, the sheet contains enough blank sections for just over a month’s worth of daily drawings.

Highlights from this issue include: A Tale of Turkish Hospitality / Gallipoli- walking the peninsula / Along the Thin White Line (a diary account of a cycle tour across America). Articles and images of Finland, the Isle of Skye and Cambodia also feature on the sheet.
There’s room to jot down your appointments and space to make other notes. This versatile planner can be carried around like a diary or pinned up on a wall. Use the sheet to organise your time and see what your whole year looks like.
