About this deal

Tan, S. (2001) "Originality and Creativity", AATE/ALEA Joint National Conference Retrieved 27 December 2005 The third question can be altered to draw attention to the ways students have explored their initial puzzles.

As an artist, I'm interested in what you do when you encounter something that's really, really strange and unfamiliar," he tells NPR, "whether it's with fear or evasion or curiosity and maybe even love is really quite telling."Butcher’s paper or space on walls to assemble responses under the headings: Think, Puzzle and Explore. Although aimed at younger readers, this resource offers many ideas that can be adapted for older students. As a boy, Tan spent time illustrating poems and stories and drawing dinosaurs, robots and spaceships. At school he was known as a talented artist. [6] At the age of eleven, he became a fan of The Twilight Zone television series as well as books that bore similar themes. Tan cites Ray Bradbury as a favorite at this time. These stories led to Tan writing his own short stories. Of his effort at writing as a youth, Tan tells, "I have a small pile of rejection letters as testament to this ambition!" [7] At the age of sixteen, Tan's first illustration appeared in the Australian magazine Aurealis in 1990.

What do you think of the final image? Why does the story end like this? What does this image add to the story? Explain. Draw a line on a whiteboard (whole class activity), or place a string across some desks (small group activity) – this represents the tug-of-war rope. a b c d e f g h Haber, Karen (December 2001). "Shaun Tan: Out of Context". Locus (12) . Retrieved 25 July 2007.I wrote the story over a couple of weeks on my kitchen table - the original draft was much longer and more detailed, and was set in an ordinary suburb much like the one I grew up in. Later that changed as I developed the idea that the it was a kind of ‘retro-future’ suburb where there were almost no living things left, aside from people, and that everything was very dull and suffocating, but nobody cared very much about this. Tan describes himself as a slow worker who revises his work many times along the way. He is interested in loss and alienation, and believes that children in particular react well to issues of natural justice. He feels he is "like a translator" of ideas, and is happy and flattered to see his work adapted and interpreted in film and music (such as by the Australian Chamber Orchestra).

Ecco; il libro ci spinge a cercare di evitare di fare proprio questo. Correre per arrivare a una fine per poi chiedersi “ e allora?”

Shaun Tan is an incredible artist whose pictures are able to capture nostalgia, and the bittersweet sadness that exists in the contemporary world. Rather than superficial princesses and shallow fairy tales, Tan asks us to also reflect upon aspects of life through original illustrations that are humorous, sentimental, poignant and satirical.

Archived from the original on 28 January 2008 . Retrieved 27 January 2008. Shaun Tan (born 1974) is an Australian artist, writer and film maker. He won an Academy Award for The Lost Thing, a 2011 animated film adaptation of a 2000 picture book he wrote and illustrated. Other books he has written and illustrated include The Red Tree and The Arrival. The Lost Thing is rich in opportunities to develop students’ understanding of symbolism, which will also help with generating their own interpretations of the individual images and the whole text. The symbols can be discussed in terms of different categories. Activity: Find evidence within the images or written text that supports the reading that the lost thing is gentle and vulnerable. (Could any other adjectives apply?)

The Rabbits was the basis for an opera of the same title by Kate Miller-Heidke which was premiered at the 2015 Perth International Arts Festival. The Red Tree, a play based on Tan's book of the same name, was commissioned by the Queensland Performing Arts Centre.

I like this book very much because of the magic that it has. I also loved the illustrations that I believe were made by the author (Shaun Tan). For his career contribution to "children's and young adult literature in the broadest sense" Tan won the 2011 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award from the Swedish Arts Council, the biggest prize in children's literature. [5] Biography [ edit ] Early life [ edit ] The Lost Thing itself I always knew would be red and big, so very noticeable, which makes us wonder why nobody really notices it (this is the key question of the story, for which there is no single answer). Its design was based on a pebble crab, a small round crustacean with claws that hinge vertically, and I combined this with the look of an old-fashioned pot-bellied stove, with a big lid on top instead of a mouth. I did not want the creature to have any anthropomorphic features, especially no face, so it’s eyes are reduced to small dots which emerge from a hole. The main thing was that it looked strange and unrecognisable - which is not always easy.
