SUMMARY:Axel Scheffler: A Life in Illustration
DESCRIPTION:Axel Scheffler: A Life in Illustration\nWeston Museum\nSaturday 27 July 2024 – Saturday 14 December 2024 (The Museum is Closed on a Sunday and Monday EXCEPT FROM Sunday 1 December 2024 for our Christmas Market Weekend) \nExhibition Opens: The Wonderful World of Axel Scheffler Illustrator of The Gruffalo\nThis summer\, Weston Museum proudly presents Axel Scheffler: A Life in Illustration\, a comprehensive exhibition celebrating the work of the UK’s number one bestselling illustrator\, Axel Scheffler. Known for creating beloved characters like the Gruffalo and Stick Man\, Axel’s illustrations have captivated children and adults alike. \nOpening on 27th July 2024\, this family-friendly exhibition offers the most extensive public display of Axel’s illustrations in the UK\, providing visitors a rare opportunity to delve into his artistic brilliance. The exhibition celebrates the partnership between Axel and renowned author Julia Donaldson\, showcasing artwork from over 150 books that reflect his luminous colour\, expressive faces\, and distinctive humour. \nExhibition Highlights\nVisitors can explore Axel’s creative process\, witnessing how his characters come to life\, from his sketches to preparatory artwork to the final illustrations that feature in the books. The exhibition spans his early career\, including his time at Bath Academy of Art in Corsham\, to his more recent works like The Baddies\, written by Julia Donaldson and Jim’s Spectacular Christmas\, written by actress Emma Thompson. \nFifteen of the books created by Julia and Axel are featured\, including their very first book\, A Squash and a Squeeze. Visitors will see original illustrations from favourites such as The Gruffalo\, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year\, Room on the Broom and Stick Man\, all written by Julia Donaldson. Visitors will see the original artwork from a number of their books which have been developed into award-winning animations by Magic Light Pictures\, including The Snail and the Whale and The Smeds and The Smoos. \nThere will also be artwork from Axel’s Pip and Posy series\, which many visitors will recognise from the Channel 5 preschool series. \nReflecting on his connection to the region\, Axel Scheffler said: “I spent an unforgettable summer holiday in North Devon in 1975 and fell in love with South West England. I came back in 1982 to study visual communication at Bath Academy of Art in Corsham. Following the success of my exhibition at the Museum of Somerset in Taunton last year\, I am pleased that children and families in Weston and the surrounding area will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition this year and hope that everyone enjoys it.” \nSarah Cox\, Exhibitions Manager for Weston Museum\, added: “Axel’s books have been published in numerous languages and cherished worldwide. This exhibition allows visitors to explore his journey to becoming the UK’s most popular illustrator and witness the creation of these modern classics.” \nThis exhibition has been created in partnership with Events of Wonder\, with support from Macmillan Children’s Books and Scholastic Children’s Books.

SUMMARY:Amazing Artefacts - Home Educators Monthly Sessions
DESCRIPTION:  \nWelcome to the Autumn Season of Amazing Artefacts – Home Educators Monthly Sessions!\nEach month\, we will take part in a variety of different hands on activities inspired by one or more items from the collections. Each season\, we will explore a new theme\, which for the Autumn Season will be ‘History Detectives – how do we learn about the past?’. We will explore different research sources and approaches to learning about our history\, from census records to archaeology\, in order to introduce some of the skills needed for historical research. \nDates and Times\nAutumn season dates and times are as follows:\nWednesday 11th September (10:30-11:30 Juniors\, 12-1 Seniors)\nWednesday 9th October (10:30-11:30 Juniors\, 12-1 Seniors)\nWednesday 13th November (10:30-11:30 Juniors\, 12-1 Seniors) \nAges and Abilities\nSessions are designed to be active and accessible for a mix of ages and abilities with 2 separate sessions for younger or older children. The morning session will be aimed at slightly younger children aged approximately 5-8 or approximately key stage 1\, nicknamed our Juniors\, and the afternoon session will be aimed at the slightly older children aged approximately 9+ or approximately key stage 2\, nicknamed our Seniors. If you would like to attend as a family group with mixed ages\, then just pick whichever session you feel would be most suitable for the group as a whole.\nIf you would like to let us know about any specific considerations for your children then we would welcome this\, just get in touch. \nAccompanying Adults\nTickets need to be purchased for each child attending\, but grown ups do not need to purchase a separate ticket. It usually works best for the younger or less confident children if grown ups stay and join in with activities. Whereas for older or more confident children it is usually fine for grown ups to not stay in the session\, although they will need to stay within the museum building whilst the session is taking place. \nPrice and How to Book\nTickets cost £18 per child for the 3 month seasonal block and can be booked via Ticketsource or by popping into or phoning the museum directly.\nThe seasons work best when booked as a 3 month block as all the learning ties in together and learners can get familiar with who the other attendees will be joining for a season. The sessions don’t require any pre-existing knowledge in order to enjoy them\, so if you aren’t sure whether you can attend all 3 sessions it doesn’t prohibit you from enjoying the other 2 and we advise still booking the season. It does work out cheaper per session to book all three together rather than paying for 3 single sessions on the day and it means that you know there will be a space reserved for you rather than risking being turned away on the day if the session is full (we keep maximum numbers restricted to enable more 1-2-1 engagement).\nAttendees will be encouraged to continue their learning at home between sessions by utilising links and resources emailed out. \nRusty Club (YAC) Membership – Please note that we do some of the same crafts or activities in Rusty Club sessions as we do in Home Educator sessions\, so if you decide to join in with both programmes there may be some sessions with duplicated topics\, so we tend to advise choosing one programme or the other.
