Drawing Class in Exeter as part of ‘Big Small People’
The Camera Obscura School of Art in Tel Aviv, Israel, initiated the Big Small People animation project in 2005, choosing the 52 articles of the United Nations Conventions of Children’s Rights from a list of concerns identified by UNESCO as needing support.
They approached other Animation Schools and students from in America, Britain, France, Germany, Hungary, India and Israel who responded enthusiastically to the brief, each student giving a different perspective on the fairly overwhelming governmental document.
Big Small People’ is an international collaboration between 7 animation schools, focusing on children’s rights.
All over the world students have worked on films that highlight and personalise one of the 52 articles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
