Learning Activity Outline: UK Mobility

Posted on by Allie Walton-Robson

Learning Activity UK Mobility 4th-9th October
Workshop lead: Alison Walton-Robson

Bringing it all together: Creative Evaluation – using the environment to stimulate debate and site specific environmental art to express and evaluate learning experiences.

Enjoy a short walk in the grounds (Cragside House, Northumberland) together (around 15 mins). Reflect upon your past week – discuss together in your group – highlights and lowlights – help each other to remember.

Choose a suitable site not too far away from this point and where we can still see each other (we’ll need to move quickly between sites) to create your site specific artworks.

You may make your own artwork or work together in small groups – you can choose.

You may use only found materials, the environment here, your own skills and any skills you have developed in the learning activities this week. The artwork might include shapes, symbols, song, words or physical images…anything which you feel reflects your learning.

Please note: Found objects must be things which have fallen naturally – please do not cut down or take anything growing.

Take 45 mins.

We will then visit each other’s site, share and discuss our work.

 

Defining the principles in Thessaloniki

Posted on by Headway Arts

Here in the UK we are looking forward to our visit to Thessaloniki both for the Learning Activity and the Managers Meeting! Over the last few months during our visits exploring best practice, and in the work we have been doing with our groups, we have been looking at the principles for the accreditation framework.

Now it is time to bring all this learning together and define the principles underlying the framework. We have set aside some time to do this while we are in Thessaloniki so please bring all your ideas with you!

How the face is imprinted in art, through the eyes of people who were persuaded to paint because they believed to themselves? And what happens when the characters are displayed in different cultures?

“ANTIGONE-Information and Documentation Centre on Racism, Ecology, Peace and Non Violence” supports the initiative “CHROMATODROMOS”  in the second group painting exhibition entitled “The depiction of the face in different cultures.”

“CHROMATODROMOS” is an initiative to support visual artists with mental problems, which involve not only individuals but also organizations / institutions interested in upsetting the prevailing conception of education whereby especially people with disabilities are considered more recipients rather than producers knowledge. Particular emphasis is given to the socialization of people with interaction effects and projection, mainly through individual and group exhibitions. As part of this initiative conducted creative activities related to visual arts, which collectively decide and plan all its members.

In the second group exhibition artists wanted to capture faces of a multi-cultural landscape, influenced by travel, everyday life, news and dreams.

With the support of the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, which embraced the group since its inception, the exhibition opens in Thursday, February 16th, 2017 at 18.00 and will be hosted in the area of the MMCA.

Duration: 16th to 19th and 23rd to 26th February 2017
Days & hours: Wednesday 10: 00-22: 00, Friday 10: 00-19: 00, Saturdays 10: 00-18: 00 Sunday 11: 00-15: 00.

It’s Christmas and we are still painting faces

Posted on by ANTIGONE - Information and Documentation Center on Racism, Ecology, Peace and Non Violence

It’s Christmas and we are still here, painting, focused on the face. The weather is very cold, but the group of the volunteers are working hard for the upcoming exhibition, but also for the good of the companionship, needed especially these days. Loneliness was discussed to be one of the biggest challenges for the people with mental problems. CHROMATODROMOS, the initiative that works for the project ARTS, tries to be more than an art group; focuses on the support, the friendly environment, the place for communication, the workshop of self-evaluation.
