Sponge magazine brings professional graphic designers and children together in one magazine to underpin their creative thinking through a series of creative interviews. Sponge is driven to investigate where we all come from as creatives as although we are complex thinkers as adults, we all started out in the same place: scribbling as a child.
The six interview questions asked to the designers and children reflect the six stages of artistic development we all experience as a child from 0 -16 years and are based on Viktor Lowenfeld’s artistic development theory from 1947. Both the children and designer’s insights and opinions are equally important as the other in Sponge and aims to celebrate the naive and expressive creativity we all had as a child, and can still have, and the beauty in that.
Sponge, Issue 02 is proud to be part of The NewBridge Project’s Blazing New Worlds programme. In this issue Sponge was honoured to speak with and interview the children of The Shieldfield Youth Programme in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
