Woow it feels like we`ve done a lot in 12 weeks….we finished our origami sketch books, said our farewells and ate some bakewell tart!…..feel really sad that my lovely Clitheroe mornings have come to an end. Thank you to all the lovely creative group members that made it so lovely..
There will be an exhibition at the Ace centre in September so i`ll let you know the details if you wanted to come down and see the work first hand.
Beautiful designs turned into reality……
What an inspirational week! The boys in the tuesday group appeared quite dominant in the first session, but the girls definitely grew in confidence after this session and started to share their ideas more. The monday group flourished and really enjoyed inventing stories around their character…
We started to gather our designs together to create our origami book…we also created new pages creating beautiful patterns using pin pricks…
I started New Ghosts project last week, so i`m working with two classes at Falinge School in Rochdale for Cartwheel Arts. I`m going to be working with the classes, so the children can produce their own artists book based around myths/legends in Rochdale.
My first two sessions went really well….my tuesday group were very enthusiastic and full to the brim with ideas….the monday group today were more cautious, so i think a completely different approach is needed. We looked at various book artists and discussed what an artist book is…..here are some of the artists we looked at…
In both groups i asked them to use their first letter of their first name to create a design that told a story about themselves….there were lots of brilliant ideas…..I thought we`d create an origami book of all our ideas and designs for our final book and this would be the perfect first page.
