Notes for adults
We have written a story about each period in our Times Past section. We would like you to have a go at illustrating some of those stories.
This project can be done by anyone but we would suggest that it is most suitable for those between the ages of 9 and 15. It can be done either from home or in school.
Paper, pens, paints, crayons or pencils. You may need a scanner or camera so you can upload it to your school's website.
This section is intended for those tackling this project on their own at home. A separate set of instructions, in PDF format, for
teachers to hand out is here.
You will need to choose a period in our Times Past section and then read or listen to the story. If you want you
can read or listen to them all and then choose the one you like best. Using your imagination, draw or paint a picture which you think fits in with the words of the
story. This project must be done as a drawing or painting, not computer-aided graphics. The picture should be A4 landscape size.
Please send your picture to story@owlbut.co.uk, to reach us by 31st August 2023. During the following year, we will take a look at
all the ones sent in and, in July 2024, we will choose the best two illustrations for each story and upload them to the appropriate story page on our site.
The name of the artist will be displayed and they will receive a certificate.
The pictures will stay on the site forever. Yay.
If you have done the project in school, feel free to upload it to the special part of your school website called Owlbut's World of Learning. However, only
examples sent to the above email address will be judged and, if successful, put on our site.
NOTE: You will retain full copyright of your picture. However, by sending it to us, you give us permission to upload it to this site.
