I was invited to be a Collage Artist for Diversity Day at St.Georges Secondary School for girls. Over 40 Specialists in diverse fields such as the Quaker, Japanese Tea Ceremony, Belly Dancing, Mathematics, Meditation, Exploding Science, Street Dancing, Poetry and so on were asked to come and show, share and enthuse the whole school. It was a fantastic and utterly uplifting experience. The energy at the end of the day was electric!
I ran 6 x 45 minute back to back art sessions for 20 girls at a time who had chosen not to do Art, girls who didn’t like to make a mess, all with long hair and nice clothes…
…the brief was to cover an A2 board according to the blue, green, yellow areas indicated. All 450+ panels would be assembled in the gym at the end of the day to make a giant picture which nobody knew. We went to the hall with paint dripping, very textural panels…it was a massive collection of different art styles in each piece, amazing!
