Merging visual language for learning

Being able to merge two visual languages together into one image can have hige potential for learning opportunities. Above is an example of older students (17yrs) compiling an inspiration board for a fashion- recycling - 'junk to funk' project. The images below were generated in conversation with a child in early years education (5yrs) about what his favourite superheroes would look like if they were trains. The Captain America example led to lots of discussion about how design has changed through history and the steamline movement of the 1930s/40s.
