Arts and Minds: Time to Introduce Ourselves – A Sculpture Challenge
We kicked off the programme with a quick making challenge which would act as an ice-breaker and introduce students to an array of materials.
Arts and Minds: Asemic Writing and Invented Text
Students were given the opportunity to further explore expressive mark making as a tool for self-expression and a vehicle for communication.
Arts and Minds: Expressive Monoprinting on a Big Scale
Students enjoyed monoprinting on a large scale by rolling printing ink and acrylic paint directly onto the table and experimenting with ways to take prints.
Constructing the World with Collage
Students were invited to use their previously created monoprints to construct large scale collages inspired by the landscape surrounding the college.
Manipulating Clay with Water
In this session teenagers had an abundance of clay and the freedom to play and manipulate form.
With Special Thanks To:
And to Pink Pig sketchbooks for their continued support of AccessArt and providing young people with beautiful books for this project.
Building to the Limit
In this session students were given the challenge of making building blocks out of mixed media and using them to build a sculpture. They were encouraged to experiment with balancing different elements together and setting themselves the challenge of seeing how far they could build before their constructions collapsed.
Drawing for Mindfulness
Students were guided on drawing exercises designed to explore drawing as a tool for seeing and being in the here and now.
Feeling Through Drawing
Students were led on a guided drawing experience of drawing through touch.
Arts and Minds: A ‘Heart-Work’ Conversation
Teenagers were introduced to graphite, charcoal, masking tape and acrylic paint as mediums for communal expressive mark making. A collective drawing was produced, whereby students were encouraged to work in collaboration and in response to each other.
