A Message for Children
Have you been to the UK? Do you know where Big Ben is?
Maybe you've seen the Queen of England on TV, red double-decker buses, or Royal Guards wearing tall hats. Otherwise, you must have heard stories like "Alice in Wonderland," "Peter Rabbit," "Winnie the Pooh," or "Harry Potter." Did you know? The authors of these stories all come from the UK.
The UK has many imaginative stories, but have you ever wondered how these stories began? How do illustrators turn words into pictures? Do you want to know how illustrators from Taiwan observe life, feel the world, and draw their beloved hometowns? Let's discover the stories in their works together.
By the way, do you know why British people love afternoon tea so much?
Is British afternoon tea black tea or green tea? It turns out that in the UK, drinking tea is not just about having a beverage; it's also a way to chat, share, and make friends! Want to know more interesting stories about the UK? Let's open up your limitless imagination through images and reading!
A Message for Parents
Before children are familiar with words, images are often their earliest language for understanding the world. Through viewing, imagining, and reading, children gradually build their understanding of the environment, emotions, and stories, while also developing their thinking and expressive abilities in this process.
British children's books have long valued imagination, humor, and independent thinking. Many classic works are not in a hurry to provide answers but instead invite readers to ask questions and imagine. This spirit has also deeply influenced contemporary Taiwanese illustration. Starting from British children's books and illustration, this exhibition invites Taiwanese illustrators who have studied in the UK to lead children in understanding how images can become a way of understanding the world, from image creation and storytelling to the reading experience.
Through the display of original artworks, picture book reading, and interactive experiences, children progress from "seeing images" to "entering stories," "understanding creation," and "trying to express." We hope children don't just view the exhibition but discover in the process that reading doesn't only exist in words; images themselves are a way of reading the world.
