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.

My initial thoughts on the project.

When I found out about our new project, I was quite anxious and didn’t know what to expect, the thought of working with adults with learning difficulties scared me. As we found out more about this project I became more and more interested and excited. I feel it will be a great experience that will be full of new lessons and memories.

The first session we had was one with 3 teachers talking and showing us about community art projects, this was very useful because it helped me to understand what community art is and how to go about doing a community art project. The teachers showed us already existing community art projects and how community work can be interactive as well. This was interesting because we learnt about different ways to teach children or adults with learning difficulties something new through using a range of teaching strategies.

We then had short discussion about what we going to be doing with the adults and what we can do in our final collaborative piece, after this I became even more excited and now cant wait to meet them and start what will be a life changing project.
