save the world | Library@St-Ninians

If you know anything about the library and me you know I love a project. Not just an ordinary project but one with bells and whistles and a tartan tammy thrown in for good measure.
For a number of years these projects have been supported by various departments around the school and one of our greatest supporters have been the art department in the form of the Higher Photography classes-this year has been no different.

My big project (in association with another class at Woodfarm- “waves”) has been environmental; in the form of an S2 class studying the power of cli-fi – climate change fiction and can reading fiction really change the way we think about big topics?
Our tag line is – can books save the world?

Our main text has been the brilliant Scottish book Exodus by the equally brilliant Julie Bertegna who has also been extremely supportive of the project even from France where she tweets us!
Our S2 pupils created design briefs for the Higher photography students to create copywright free images that could be used for their final mini movies. No plagiarism here mateys!

Photography students have not let us down – from fantastically realised dystopian Glasgows to poignant and thoughtful personal tragedies.
Take a look and let us know what you think.

Massive thanks to Art and English departments who always agree no matter how bizarre the concept!
