ILLUSTRATED ANALYSIS OF ADAM AND EVE BY LUCAS CRANACH
THE COURTAULD GALLERY AND INSTITUTE
Toya's double page spread in The Courtauld's learning resources illustrates a sketchbook exploration into Lucas Cranach's Adam and Eve painted in 1526. Using the painting as a springboard for ideas the response references social housing, civil rights, feminism, religion, celebrity culture and existentialism revealing how analysis of a 500 yr old painting can offer many ideas still relevant today.

REFUGEE EXPERIENCES - KS2 RESOURCES
HOUSE OF ILLUSTRATION
These free downloadable resources were developed with Emma Winch and Emily Jost to complement House of Illustration's 2018-2019 exhibition Journey's Drawn: Illustration from the Refugee Crisis.

The resources aim to teach this vital subject, drawing on the human experiences behind the divisive media headlines in an accessible and hands-on way.
Teachers' notes (written by Emma Winch and Emily Jost), gallery and five lesson plans with practical activities can be found here.
