In Marion Richardson: Her Life and Her Contribution to Handwriting,
Rosemary Sassoon’s recognizes Richardson’s groundbreaking
contribution to the freeing of the teaching of child art and her
two handwriting schemes – the main one based on her observations
of children’s pattern paintings and the natural movement of young
children’s hands. In both areas of her work she changed attitudes
worldwide. The book promotes the value and creativity of child art
and writing viewed as a natural progression from pattern. Sassoon
focuses on Richardson’s personal life and character, and is fully
illustrated. It is based partly on her own writing, with letters
and personal recollections from those who knew her, worked with
her, her students and those who carried on her work and kept her
legacy alive after her death. It deals with how she developed her
techniques of encouraging children to express their creativity in
art freeing them from the prevailing strictures. Much original
research has been undertaken for this section, with the help of
archivists in several major libraries. Searches reveal that the
handwriting archives have previously not been considered as
important as the art aspects so have often not even been
catalogued. This will mean that many facts are emerging that have
not been known before. The volume benefits from illustrations from
her schemes and numerous handwriting examples.
