pop art for children?

I think an effective way of drawing and holding a child's attention to an informative poster would be to do it in a fun pop-art style. For example:

visual learning for children.

Visual

It is estimated that 80 percent of what we learn is through our vision. From an early age, a child acquires valuable information about his surroundings through his or her eyes. Because of this fact, normal schooling makes use of methods that favor visual learners. Children who are primarily visual learners tend to get information through reading books. They can also learn more from pictures and other visual materials. If you notice that your child is tidy and organized in their learning habits, then he might be a visual learner.
Students of this style are drawn to paintings, crafts, and other arts. They also have a wonderful sense of imagination and are known to be very creative. If you have a child like this, you may want to keep him enrolled in a regular school. You can however, give your child a better chance at maximizing their inborn skills and enroll them in home schooling. A program can then be developed to cater to your child's forte and utilize their potential.

research.

Below is a children's poster used in classrooms used to help kids with their schoolwork. I think it is a more effective way to communicate to children, with the use of colour and fun images. However, I think these would be more suitable for infants, and I want to target children of all Primary School ages, so it has to appeal to both P1 students and P7.

Above is an image of a current poster used to teach CPR to children. While I think it is effective enough, it could be a lot more eye catching to grab kids attention. If if was in colour, with big bold images, children would be more likely to take notice of it.

goal

I have decided that I would like to create a poster to be displayed in Primary Schools, youth clubs, girl guides/scouts, and basically anywhere where an activity may take place with children present.

Goal: To make the poster as simple as possible for children to understand, with clear, concise and easy to follow instructions, and bright, colourful images for younger children who may have difficulty reading.

Explore the steps involved in CPR. Design an informative leaflet or poster for home or business use to simply illustrate the steps required to assist an individual treating a patient with difficulty.
