Find Your Message (To The World)

By Paula Briggs

This resource shares how teenagers explored what their “message to the world” might be, inspired by the propaganda art of Shepard Fairey. You can see the whole collection of resources here, including how we used the ideas generated as inspiration for a screen print.

The AccessArt Village and How a Small Idea can be Big

See how primary school pupils responded to the AccessArt Village in Mansfield Central Library

This was a very special day for Sheila Ceccarelli from AccessArt, as she got to meet and work with sixty, year five pupils from Berry Hill Primary School in Mansfield Central Library, with colleagues from Inspire Arts Service, who had previously facilitated the development of the AccessArt Village across Nottinghamshire.

Sensory Spaces: An Autism-Friendly Project

 

5c hidden spaces U

In this series of posts, artist and educator Sarah Evelyn Marsh shares the process of introducing autism-friendly strategies through a series of creative workshops at a contemporary gallery in Gdańsk, Poland.

Sarah developed a six week project for a small group of families whose children were on the autistic spectrum. Through open-ended engagement with constructed spaces and handmade sensory-inspired objects, the workshops explored ideas and activities that developed a creative language and kick-started a dialogue with the gallery to deepen engagement with these families.

Explore the workshops below…

To Connect…

At the beginning of the project it was important to take time getting used to each other, the learning space and the surrounding environment.

Below is a list of considerations you may find helpful to use in your own learning spaces. Be aware of the daily sounds, smells and other textures of life in your learning space; a constant humming noise or flickering light may be stressful for a child with autism.

Allow time for everyone to feel their way in the space; connections may be made through the use of different senses and body parts.

To Conceal…

During the six week project, the group explored different themes and actions, some of these were displayed through learning schemas.

In week 2 we experimented with different ways to conceal ourselves and objects; schemas such as enveloping and enclosure were exhibited by the group.

To Colour…

Two of the sessions explored the theme of colour. The first was rather abstract, I asked questions such as; What does colour smell like? What does colour feel like?

For a child on the autistic spectrum, a question like this may be confusing, some autistic people think and understand literally. So instead of directing these questions at the children, I answered and speculated on them myself. These abstract questions became vehicles for the workshops documented below.

To Construct…

In my final post on the project, I want to reflect on the theme of To Construct… looking at the different ways we constructed during the project.
Please remember this is a personal and artistic reflection, based on the ideas I presented and the (emotional and physical) reactions and responses of the children and their families, who inspired changes and the development of the project as we experienced it.

Teachers Battle it Out in Conversation with Marks on Paper


Teachers embarked on an exercise whereby they made marks on paper to have a conversation with a partner. This was a playful and fun exercise and teachers very much enjoyed both the process and outcomes.

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.
