You are the architect, planner, designer, and builder with this set of rubber stamps and two coloured ink pads. The matchbox-style box contains twenty-five wood backed stamps in an assortment of shapes and textures, all the essential building blocks needed to create a simple house, a whimsical village, or a towering architectural marvel-the combinations are infinite and immediately gratifying.
Aurelien Debat was born in France in 1979. He lives and works in Marseille. After graduating in illustration at Les Arts Decoratifs in Strasbourg, he wrote and illustrated children's books. In his more recent work, Debat uses printed images, volumes, installations, objects and toys to explore the relationship between design, architecture and illustrations. His Stampville project proposes a whole set of ready-to-stamp adventure pictograms, buildings and urban elements: a graphic alphabetallowing the user to build real or imaginary cities. Aurelien Debat's images, sometimes realistic, sometimes abstract, question dimensional representation of urban space.
It is about what we all take away. How we feel when we sing together, how a song can make a child smile or soothe them during tough times. The list of benefits acquired from singing and music making is extensive. We may not see it right away, but if we pay attention, we will soon discover how important a role music plays in a child's development. The connections fostered between peers in each class is amazing to see and we love watching our little friends come to life in each and every class. Come join the fun!
