About our project...

For the last few weeks of Term 4 and the first 5 weeks in Term 5, we will be working on a collaborative project with a group of adults and the staff at Beulah Resource Base. Each Wednesday for the first 4 weeks of June we will be producing work in workshops at BRB and The BRIT School , then we will spend the remainder of the week in school working on the material created and gathered to produce work for the final event. There will be a Celebration day in week 5 (Wednesday 6thJuly) at BRB where we will share our outcomes.

A SENSE OF ME: Aim of project: To create sensory installations at BRB exploring memories and/or ambitions of the adults. Between workshops students will be developing the animations and other material towards the sensory installations.

Initial thoughts


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.
