Vote for love

/

Books published for simply enjoying children drawings and words for their own sake, are rare. There is a need for more of them and Vote For Love proves it. First published in 1976 by the late British actor, film director producer and novelist Bryan Forbes, and compiled by his wife and actress Nanette Newman, the cherished book is still on the market (online anyway) some forty plus years later.

At CDIC-CIDE, we long to know… Were any of the originals saved? We will ask around and let everyone know if there is time to rejoice.

Inspiring Reading

/

There are numerous personal and professional experiences over the past 50 years that have motivated the creation of our Collection. Some may ask why we called it “Children’s Design” instead of “Children’s Art”? One of the reasons has to do with the notion of intention. This most interesting article by Dr. Heather Malin is an excellent read for understanding what motivated us in the first place: Making Meaningful: Intention in Children’s Art Making

L’arte dei bambini

This is the first known published in depth study of children’s art. It was first written in Italian by Corrado Ricci (1858-1934) and has been published in various languages for over 120 years and counting.

A copy published in 1887 found a home at Toronto’s Robarts Library and can be viewed as an open library edition on Archive.org

We didn’t do it alone

Our many thanks go to Jerry Rivard (www.rivardit.com ). Jerry has been an awesome web development coach to us. He has his costumers’ needs and autonomy always in check. Our website may not have the fancy glittery plugins many surfers have come to expect, but in keeping it simple, we keep it efficient and maintenance smart. All done on a volunteer basis (with a little help from our friend), so far.
