Education by Choice – Arts and Crafts Workshop
27th of November 2009
Our idea so far was to offer the YP small creative experiences, tasters of the work different artists do: so we could then use these as support when developing connections with groups abroad.
This was our last session of this kind and possibly the most successful, maybe due to the more practical aspect of it: arts and crafts with Emma Louise Hutchinson.
Emma Louise brought pieces of tiles for the YP to paint on and encouraged them to represent themselves through this piece of work (the things that are important or defining for them and their lives, their aspirations etc). Each of these tiles will be then incorporated in a larger mosaic that will be displayed either in their centre or somewhere publicly.
Apart from doing something creative, the mosaic could represent a reference point for them, at a later stage, something they could look back to and make them realise if anything changed in the meantime: either positive or negative.
The YP seemed to really enjoyed the activity, our volunteers and Education by Choice staff got involved in the painting too. Some of the YP washed off their tiles few times, not happy with the result... it`s great to see them so motivated! Emma Louise has done a brilliant job!
