I initially didn’t know what to think of this project or what it had in store for me, as I have never created a piece of community art. However I’m extremely excited, as this is a new experience for me. I will be working alongside Beulah; Beulah resource base is a place for adults with severe learning difficulties to go and take part in a wide range of activities to stimulate their physical and creative development.
As this was a new experience for many, the project started with three lessons based around community art and design. I found the lessons extremely useful and they gave me an insight into community art and how it works. I have learnt that community art and design thrives on contact between artists and the community they are working with. This is art making with, and for the benefit of a community. Now that I have researched community art in depth I’m more comfortable with the project and what it involves.
