Art & Identity at Warneford School
Posted By James On 12/02/2010 @ 04:54 pm In Learning/Teaching, projects | No Comments

Here are a few photos from a project that I ran this week at Warneford Secondary School in Highworth.
I talked to the whole year 9 group in an assembly about the role of art in exploring identity, and in defining and sharing a sense of your own identity with others. Then I worked with 15 of the young people to develop ideas for artworks which gathered together images, shapes and ideas from their own lives, like a kind of creative identity puzzle.

Their teachers and I wanted to give them a chance to come up with their own ideas around who they are and what they are passionate about - to experience how art can support you to be in control of your image and identity, be more reflective on who you are as a person and then start to think about what you might like to achieve in the future.
