This blog is to show my Proposal And Treatment you are able to click on the link to read my essay. I presented this to kick start the action plan for the year. In this blog I will be providing my experiences with my studying, research, case studies and the presentation at the end of it all.
I’ll kick start this with my idea. The idea I am going for is to create a multi textual children’s book which is targeted towards Children and children with specific learning difficulties and disabilities. I wanted to create this book to focus on my future career towards becoming a teacher. I want to figure out what type of teacher I want to be, so what better part than researching about young children’s books and textured books for children with learning difficulties and disabilities. I want to become a teacher who has a moderate understanding towards specific learning needs such as SEND. I was able to have a respectful understanding within my case studies Case studies_ Sensory Play groups This link provides the case studies if your interested into what I found. I’ll give a little description of what I did the case studies for. As I mentioned I was planning to create a multi textual children’s book. I did start with my creations and of which I was able to create demo type of my character illustration. I will provide imagery of some of the demos that I created. The reason I created these demo types was to find out which material is functional for children with learning difficulties and disabilities with along side of research into specific learning disabilities and disabilities such as visually impairment. 
With in my proposal and treatment I was able to provide the research which I stored into a research file of which you can read here Research File I like to look into further detailing of which I stated in my proposal and treatment of which I wanted to look at children’s book and know exactly what children want. So much so I am self taught with moderate knowledge about specific learning difficulties and disabilities. I am in no words an expert but I did research about this so that I was a more understood person and had the most graceful of respect for those who do have a learning difficulty and disability.
I stated in my proposal and treat meant that I would do commercial work and I have a few in mind. One being the penguin student awards of which I was to look into the brief for the year and do a commercial project that fit with the theme and brief of the competition. The Brief fo penguin student award was about the book Wonder which was a film in 2018 I did a blog about this which I will place here for you to read weekly reflection: Risographs and Wonder project I stated what i did and what I managed to create for the brief. I have a few other commercial projects and a collaboration which I will state in a blog later down the line. I found my experience within doing the wonder project challenging with my research skills and understanding of what the book is about. I found this to be a great opportunity for myself with enhancing my research skills and teaching myself about a disorder which I have never heard about until now after my research into the book wonder.
I will give a brief description about the disorder which I learned about while finding references for my project. I will be placing a image of my research in the project sketch book here 
As you see the name of the disorder is Treacher Collins Syndrome. Sources state that teacher collins syndrome is “a condition that affects the development of bones and other tissues of the face. […] Most affected individuals have underdeveloped facial bones, particularly the cheek bones, and a very small jaw and chin (micrognathia). Some people with this condition are also born with an opening in the roof of the mouth called a cleft palate” (Reference, 2018). The reasoning of me having to research this is because the little boy in the book has this rare genetic disorder and is facing going to school after being home schooled. The book is very moving and highly recommend reading this book or even watch the film. I will leave links down below for you to look into the book.
I found with all my experiences so far doing my proposal and treatment check list with along side doing commercial project and a future collaboration. I found myself became more mature while applying for PGCE interviews, finding places to go for my case studies, exploring libraries and researching topics that are out of my comfort zone for example studying about visually impairment and learning difficulties. I found myself to be more educated as I have taken to myself to understand further into my personal project for children and children with specific learning difficulties and disabilities. I found that I have gained better communication skills and organisations skills with planning and organising events for my case studies and preparing myself with further studies into different topics which don’t relate with art. I am wanting to improve on these skills and become more organised and improve on my preparation skills which will benefit me when going into a teaching status and preparing lesson plans. I believe I should improve my skill sets and venture out more into what my audiences and clients needs. I am able to provide this when I start my collaboration project and commercial projects.
