Product Description
Book Description
An anthology of children's poetry and artwork around science from the innovative science, art and writing (SAW)initiative conceived by biologist Dr Anne Osbourn
From the Inside Flap
‘Scientists, artists and creative writers share a common purpose in their attempts to describe, interpret and ultimately to understand the world about them. SAW is singularly successful in drawing these threads together.’
- Professor David Ingram OBE, VMH, Master, St Catharine’s College, Cambridge; botantist, horticulturalist and conservationist.
‘SAW – A wholeness of experience, an integration that is both affirming and revelatory.’
-Jill Pirrie, poetry teacher and author of ‘On Common Ground’.
‘Formal education compartmentalizes subjects in a way that stifles inquisitiveness and curiosity. By linking science, art and writing, SAW promotes creative speculation and imaginative possibilities.’
-Ann Oliver, School of Higher Education and Lifelong Learning, University of East Anglia; Creative Partnerships.
‘SAW is a great way to get children writing and thinking about science creatively.’
- Naomi Jaffa, the Poetry Trust.
‘Whenever we engage with creativity, we put pressure on accepted borders; customs are powerless to prevent art being smuggled into science, science into art. SAW dissolves borders and melds worlds.’
- Professor Clive Scott, Head of the School of Literature and Creative Writing, University of East Anglia; authority on literature and the visual arts.
‘Fact is the departure lounge for all true adventures in art and science.’
- Gwyneth Lewis, the first National Poet of Wales.

Young and old will delight in see saw,
By A Customer
This review is from: See Saw: An Anthology of Poetry and Artwork Around Science by Children from Rockland St Mary County Primary School and Framingham Earl High School, ... Working with Matthew Sweeney and Jill Pirrie (Paperback)
See saw is a collection of pictures and poetry from school children who have been stimulated with scientific images. These works provide unique insight into both subject matter and the young artists themselves. My children and I enjoyed exploring the book together, though it is well-suited for classroom use as well. It will provoke you to see the world in a different light and likely to create some art of your own.

See Saw inspirational for young and old alike,
By A Customer
This review is from: See Saw: An Anthology of Poetry and Artwork Around Science by Children from Rockland St Mary County Primary School and Framingham Earl High School, ... Working with Matthew Sweeney and Jill Pirrie (Paperback)
A collection of pictures and poems from young people who have been exposed to scientific images. The resulting works provide a fascinating perspective on both the subject matter and the young artists themselves. Sit down with your children (or students) and enjoy the fabulous images and words. Both you and they will see the world differently and be inspired to create some art of your own.
