Drawing and collage to make a global village

AccessArt were invited to Monkfield Park Primary School, Cambourne, to help celebrate diversity as part of the school’s vibrant International Day.

Inspired by AccessArt workshops by Susie Olczak, Rachael Causer, Jo Allen and Clair Louise Mather, Paula and Sheila created a workshop in three parts:

Mark making
Collage
Line Drawing

Paula and Sheila between them worked with every class from Reception to Year Two, delivering a one and a quarter hour session to each.

Prior to the workshop Paula and Sheila created a learning resource of a collection of images printed on A4 of houses and abodes from around the world, purposefully choosing houses from all weather zones and a mixture of urban and rural buildings from every continent.

Megan Boyd

Scottish Fishing Fly Maker

In a cottage in northern Scotland, Megan Boyd twirled bits of feather, fur, silver and gold into elaborate fishing flies — at once miniature works of art and absolutely lethal. Wherever men and women cast their lines for the mighty Atlantic salmon, her name is whispered in mythic reverence, and stories about her surface and swirl like fairy tales. With breathtaking cinematography and expressive, hand painted animation, Kiss the Water adheres to and escapes from traditional documentary form, spinning the facts and fictions of one woman’s life into a stunning film about craft, devotion, love, and its illusions.
Enjoy the preview of Kiss the Water below – the film is sure to inspire.
