You may not have realised that the Lego brick is 50 years old this year (Google themselves changed their logo for a day). Around here we think the only thing cooler than Lego is Moovl, so here is the Moovl logo rendered in the beautiful little bricks.

Back in June I blogged about The Big Draw - the Campaign for Drawing’s annual showpiece.

There’s now much more information on the Big Draw website, including an online events calendar and details of the national launch event on 30 September. You can also register your own event as part of the programme.

The Campaign invites everyone to join in, using drawing to engage with the past, present and future. The eighth Big Draw runs from 1 to 31 October 2007, with a special focus on Saturday 13 October. Any drawing event in October can be registered as part of this programme.

As part of the national launch, there is a session on interactive drawing at Queen Mary, University of London. More details can be found here, but an insider tells me that as well as discussing Sodarace, there will be a demo of Moovl.

The range of activities for the national launch is impressive, and there are hundreds of other events taking place around the country during October.

I found this interesting international art project for schools, sponsored by iNet.

International Networking for Educational Transformation is an international network of schools, organisations and individuals who are committed to transforming learning through innovation.

The Paintpals project is an international collaboration between schools in the UK and Australia, helping primary schools to develop digital art skills.

The schools work with Windows Paint toolkit to create a variety of artwork, which they can then share through an online art gallery. The aim is for schools an dpupils in different countries to also take part. The online gallery is well worth a look with some amazing pictures.
 

In follow up to my post about the BA Festival of Science, the CurriculART website is now live. When it is fully up and running the site will provide:

illustrated instructions for hands-on, creative arts and crafts projects linked closely to the National Curriculum.

The website won’t be free – there’s a subscription for full access, with details available on the site.

I’ve been pointed in the direction of CurriculArt by my friends at bestsciencelessonever. The CurriculArt website is an on-line resource for primary schools with art and craft ideas linked to every curriculum subject.

The website isn’t live yet, but will be launched in York this September at the BA Festival of Science.

Inspired by a colleague who drew the Moovl Lisa, I added my own version of Munch’s The Scream. I can’t decide whether the animated version is more disturbing than the original.

Perhaps The Girl with the Pearl Earring would have been better.
