Victoria Park Community Art Project: Group B

Monday 24 May 2010

Group B - 21/5/10, Session two

Similar to Wednesdays session we explored paint and what we could achieve with it. We are really starting to plan the content of the wall pieces and this is what we will focus on in the next sessions. Next week we have sessions on Tuesday 25th 12 - 3 and 3.30 - 6 and Thursday 27th also 12 - 3 and 3.30 - 6. Do come along and join in painting and designing the panels.

These examples show individuals in the groups ideas beginning to come together. There are some really inventive techniques used which will hopefully make their way to the final pieces.

These examples will be our source materials for the final pieces. They should give us ideas and techniques to use; This includes our collages, painted texture squares and photographs.

The Project's Aims

Through the medium of visual arts we will deliver intergenerational workshops with users of the Victoria Park Community Centre to develop ideas, then create and install permanent art installations for the Café. These will add colour and character to the space, encourage a sense of ownership in the local community and help cut down the current level of sound reverberation. We will also develop a series of creative skills sharing workshops, to encourage people to share a wide range of creative making skills. Supported by a professional artist, it is hoped these will develop into ongoing workshop activities at the centre once the initial workshop programme is completed. It is hoped the project may be a way to start new activities and encourage greater use of the public spaces.

The Company of Voices

SAW has gained funding to develop this project through a new Somerset-wide intergenerational programme called ‘The Company of Voices’ .

The Company of Voices is a cross-sector partnership which will promote cohesion in communities so that older and younger people can improve the extent that they value and respect one another, feel safe and secure in their community, are able to speak about their issues and views, have opportunities to come together to make a difference in their community, enjoy healthy, active and fulfilling lives.
