Listen to the Drawings: A Possible Interpretation of Young People's Visions of the World
Abstract
In this final chapter we intend to present a possible interpretation of the results of our international research study about the interests of young people aged 15-18 years old as they are depicted in their drawings. During two years, 1613 drawings were collected from schools in Israel (78 drawings), Japan (123), USA (31), Hungary (400), Mozambique (38), Australia (64), Brazil (242), Spain (62), Croatia (150), Hong Kong (35), Greece (200) and Portugal (190). We selected a few of them to try to understand possible meanings and content. By looking at or listening to the drawings we realised the unique value and the need for understanding young peoples' own culture, and the influences behind them.Teresa Torres de Eca, Rachel Kroupp and Bick Har Lam (Eds).

This paper continues the argument for comics, especially graphic novels and manga (Japanese comics), to be taken seriously as a valid art form and as a source for work at all levels of art education. [1] Specific case studies demonstrate how these ambitions might be realised in practice in the form of classroom comic / graphic novel based projects in primary and secondary schools. Three have been singled out for consideration and each deals with issues affecting comics in education, such as the question of ‘derivative’ work, assessment and interpreting pre-existing texts. The capability of comic-based projects to successfully accommodate wider social issues like gender construction also come under scrutiny. The resulting works are analysed in the context of the prevailing education culture and highlight the difficulties of applying established assessment criteria to projects of this type.
