This year I've had the good fortune to connect with 'The Song Room', a not for profit organisation providing arts projects in schools.
I was given two projects each connecting with groups of parents and students to create artworks for two schools in Balga one of Perth's northern suburbs.
The first project took place over terms 1 and 2 at Warriapendi Primary School.
A series of three photo boards were designed and painted along with 6 'totem'poles and a number of wooden flags. these were installed as entry statements to the school grounds:
At the initial workshop the participants had a brainstorming session to decide on the content of the boards.
The workshops were well attended throughout their duration. The participants were enthusiastic and a very cohesive group.
The resulting artworks are bright and colourful and make a vibrant entrance into Warriapendi Primary School
The second Song Room Project was at Balga Primary School:
This was a similar project in that the artwork was produced on plywood boards, this time a piece was created to cover an old blackboard in a covered outdoor area. The finished work is 1.2 m x 5 m. The artwork also incorporated recycled plastic bottles to add a 3D effect:
The initial workshop employed brainstorming and drawing of ideas, these were then collated for the final design.
The workshops were again well attended by parents and children. The resulting artwork is bright and colourful and will brighten up a dark area in the school
