Summer Activities: New Art Ideas

By Leave a Comment

Students at Co-ordin8 had a visit from Carla’s Critters for an engaging animal experience. The visit became the inspiration for some creative artwork. Here’s what happened.

And you can pop over to Carla’s Facebook page for some more images.

  • a collection of paints and painting equipment
    Getting things ready, choosing colours.
  • two men are standing at a long table with a long sheet of creative paper
    Laying it out. Clive and the group plan their picture as a group freeze.
  • a room full of people preparing to paint, sitting at a long table, putting on bibs plus a table a paints
    The group ‘kit up’ with Carol and Sid ready for the fun.
  • people on either side of a long table are on drawing and painting on a long canvass
    Volunteer Sid Cashin joins with everyone as it is all too good to miss!
two pots of colourful paint of red, green and yellow
Colours are chosen and mixed, using balloons to as a paint brush to print with.
a long picture is up on the wall as a man counts the snakes and terrapins it includes

  • a colourful artistic tortoise
    Brian Butler’s Tortoise called ‘Fred’
  • a drawing of a multi-coloured lizard sitting on a stone
    Dawn Lethbridge created a lizard basking on his stone.

The group’s work is then entered into the ‘New Art Ideas Competition.’ It came second! Well done to all the group members that took part on this piece of work!…Stephen, Brian, Janice, Jeanette, Andrea, Stacey, Sue, Carina, David and Dawn.
