Arts Award Silver - Mentoring - Painting Techniques

Destiny continues to mentor her fellow students as part of her Arts Award Silver.  She and her colleagues have already arranged and held their own exhibition and they continue to pursue their artistic interests independently.  Destiny is intent on becoming a photographer and attends a photography course after school on Fridays.  She will be working towards an exhibition of her photographs in the near future.

Destiny has been conducting a number of mentoring session in painting techniques towards her Arts Award Silver.  These include the painting with string and  cling-film techniques:

Water colour paint is applied by dripping or splattering onto wetted paper.

Clingfilm is crumpled and and pressed onto the paint.

After waiting for the paint to dry, the clingfilm is removed carefully to reveal wonderful patterns.

Dipping the string in pots of diluted poster paint and placing the strings inside a folded card or piece of paper.

After placing a heavy book on top of the folded card and pulling the string, identical images appear on each side of the card.

A selection of Art Work which is being made at the after School Art Club, 

alongside the Arts Award Bronze and Silver.

Collage and Drawing and Painting skills are very much in evidence here.

Some of the work is based on well-known artists' work, such as Georgie O'Keefe.

 

Reverse Applique - An Arts Council of England Funded Arts Award Bronze and Silver Courses

All About Me - Reverse Applique on Felt - A New Course at Oasis Academy, Media City

Bronze Award

Building on the success of the four students from last, year, I am now Arts Adviser for the Bronze Arts Award to another class of Year 9 students and also to the original group of students from the last year, who are now working towards their Silver Award.

The new Year 9 group is a mix of boys and girls this year.

We began drawing objects which have a particular meaning to the individual students.  The only ban is on the mobile phone, as they all look similar, so some have chosen a shoe or a trainer, a favourite logo, or a watch to draw.  They were all given an A4 sheet of coloured paper and a felt pen, though some chose to draw in pencil.

During the second week, another batch of Year 9s arrived, so they began drawing their special objects, while the first group began choosing their coloured pieces of felt, with which they will be making their reverse applique designs.

A huge bonus this year is that a student from last year has asked to help with delivering this course, and this will be of benefit in her Silver Award.

Destiny gave a short presentation on how the felt pieces were to be stacked up and sewn around the edges, and helped students to achieve this.  Meanwhile, I was offering suggestions of objects to draw to the new Year 9 pupils.

Some pupils had had experience of sewing, but most, as in the previous year did not.  We had a busy hour of sketching, threading needles and, finally, sewing the pieces together.  By the end of the hour, some students had already transferred their designs onto the top black felt layer using the white tailors' chalk.

As we were all clearing away, Destiny was reflecting on the experience, and said that she now appreciated how difficult, but, at the same time, how rewarding teaching children is.  I am hoping that she will continue to help with this course.

Silver Award

The four successful Arts Award Bronze students were photographed with their Art Teacher and myself in front of displays of their art work from last year.

We then had a short discussion regarding what they need to do next, as they have initiated and held their first Art Exhibition in Eccles Community Art Gallery, Eccles Town Centre, Greater Manchester.

Their new brief is to interview artists, so they have decided to work as a team to interview their Art Teachers and myself.  Another part of the Silver Award is to become a leader. Destiny is already making some progress in this, as she has demonstrated above.

I was able to show the four pupils how much support viewers of this blog have given them, by viewing each of my posts about this Arts Council funded project, and they were delighted to hear that viewings have reached over 1200 from all over the Northern hemisphere.

I am hoping that the pupils will post some comments about taking part in this project at some stage, so I look forward to that.

Beginning the Arts Award Silver - Took Part in an Exhibition

Oasis Academy Media City Pupils Take Part in an  Exhibition at Eccles Community Art Gallery from 18 June until 9 July, 2016, Eccles Town Centre, Greater Manchester.

Four of the original pupils who took part in the workshops run by the artists/tutors during the Autumn Term of 2015,  have been working towards an exhibition of their own in a local community gallery.The workshops offered to a dozen pupils were inspired by some of the ordinary objects from the Exhibition "Out of the Ordinary" of Colin Rodney Burrows' paintings,

The remaining pupils have been developing their painting techniques during the Spring and Summer Terms this year, and, as part of the Silver Arts Award, they have worked together to arrange an exhibition for themselves of their current art work.

Olivia Mankondo, may have been inspired by the Egyptian history of beadmaking when she decided to paint a portrait of an Egyptian Princess.  Tim Broughton, not content with merely showing the pupils how to make beads, was determined to explain the history of jewelry and other artifacts, crafted by the Egyptians.  He even brought in a piece of ancient pottery which had been excavated by his daughter in the North West of England.
















Yoelle Lalaye took a bold approach and decided to paint an impressive snake entwining a female figure on a large. canvas.  Her first inspiration was a reference to evil battling good,  however the title was changed to "Trapped Mankind".  Yoelle obviously took note of the painting workshops, whereby attention was given to the importance of interesting backgrounds, and she has spent many hours painting the individual scales on the snake.


                                                                         



Fanni Jori also paid particular attention to her rainbow-coloured background on the painting below,  Her painting was inspired by her feelings of happiness and the fact that she loves butterflies.  They are so beautifully painted, that she was encouraged to name the painting "The Beautyflies".






Destiny Jones is a member of the team which arranged the exhibition, although she has been busy with prior commitments and was unable to undertake much painting.  She is represented in the exhibition by one of her best works from a previous workshop,  This work features an image of a pendant or a brooch, made by working on several different coloured layers of felt, which have been sewn together and a design drawn on the top black layer of felt, and stiched around the outlines.  The felt has been cut away to reveal the image in all its glory!

                                                                   


A Poster to advertise the pupils' participation in the Exhibition was devised by the whole team and displayed around the school.

Out of the Ordinary - An Arts Award Bronze Course in Clay Bead-making with Tim Broughton

A Course in Clay Bead-making contd.

Tim Broughton, the tutor,  is a jeweler who has been in the trade for 45 years and who now works from a studio in Swinton, Greater Manchester,as well as teaching courses in jewelry and delivering workshops in clay.  A graduate of the University of Salford, Tim also has an active interest in archaeology and antiques.

Each pupil had a different idea of how to colour their beads.  A set of ceramic paints was provided, as well as cocktail sticks on which to place the beads while they were being painted.  They could then be stuck into some clay, as a support, whilst the paint dried.

Some of the pupils chose to paint the beads with a small paintbrush, although another had the idea of pouring a selection of coloured paint onto some clean water in a small pot.  She then dipped the beads into the the water, with the aid of cocktail sticks, or wire could be used,  and collected paint from the surface, producing a marbled effect.  A variety of paint effects was achieved by their experiments.

Some of the students decided to use the negative spaces and make medallions.

The beads were threaded onto copper wire in the first instance to form a bangle .

Then each pupil was measured for a silver bangle and it was recommended that fewer beads were threaded onto the silver in order to show off the precious metal.

The ends of the bangle were formed into a loop using round nose pliers.

Tim told the group about the history of jewelry, and that one of the earliest forms was made with clay beads threaded onto a torq.

The  pupils were then shown how to make beads by taking a small piece of white air-drying clay and rolling it around in the palm of their hands.  They could also roll the bead around on a flat surface if they wished.  Then Tim showed them how to pierce a hole carefully in the centre of the bead with a cocktail stick.

The students were also shown how to make long, thin beads, but these had to be treated with more care, as they could be fragile. The best size for these beads is about a half inch.  Piercing a hole through this type of bead is more difficult than through the round beads.

There was another method of making beads, which was by cutting into a thin layer of clay with shaped cutters.  There was the opportunity to make a variety of shapes and this time a hole needed to be pierced towards the edge of the shape.  The hole needs to be reasonably wide, so that the copper or silver wire fits through it.

The pupils set to work and produced a great number and variety of beads, which were left to dry for a few days....
