Workshop 2 MEXICO

In our second workshop, we set up 5 stations with different materials for the Addington students so they could get a feel for the different kinds of things they could do to create their backdrops. Firstly we had a discussion about loads of different abstract art and got a feel for what kinds of thing they could be creating and what abstract really meant. The students went round to the different stations and tried out with inks and scratching into acrylic paint to see what they liked working with best. The students were able to learn new skills and try out new things.

Afterwards, we allocated different kinds of weather to different students so they could work on creating a backdrop of a storm or the sunset etc. They brainstormed what they could put on the backdrop and then went to choose the media they wanted to work with to create it best. The outcomes were really good and were bright and fun.
