Design Education Talks Ep. 78 - Martin Salisbury

I studied for five years in total at art school in the 1970s, Graphic Design and Illustration. At Maidstone College of Art my tutors included Greenaway Medal-winning Gerald Rose and, by contrast, Brian Eno. I worked solely as a freelance illustrator for 15-20 years, across most areas of the field while gradually takin on part-time teaching alongside my practice, eventually taking on Course Leader role for BA Illustration.I was always mystified as to why so little attention was given to children's book illustration and decided to design and take through validation the world's first MA Children's Book Illustration programme, which grew rapidly to a cohort of 180 students from around the world.My driving force has been to widen awareness of the importance of illustration (especially authorial illustration) and drawing in the university context and in public perception, as an important academic and cultural fieldhttps://www.cambridgemashow.com/https://www.aru.ac.uk/arts-humanities-education-and-social-sciences/cambridge-school-of-art/research/the-centre-for-childrens-book-studies Thames and Hudson: https://shorturl.at/adjC3Amazon: https://shorturl.at/rBJQVSupport the showSince its inception in 2019, Design Education Talks podcast has served as a dynamic platform for the exchange of insights and ideas within the realm of art and design education. This initiative sprang from a culmination of nearly a decade of extensive research conducted by Lefteris Heretakis. His rich background, intertwining academia, industry, and student engagement, laid the foundation for a podcast that goes beyond the conventional boundaries of educational discourse.See all of our work on on https://linktr.ee/thenewartschoolFollow us on twitter at @newartschoolRead our latest articles at https://newartschool.education/and https://heretakis.medium.com/Equipment used to produce the podcast:Rodcaster pro IIRode NT1 5th generationElgato Low profile Microphone ArmMonster Prolink Studio Pro microphone cableThe rest of the equipment is here 👉https://kit.co/heretakis/podcasting
