Hi, I haven't abandoned you, dear SAW blog. I've merely been out visiting exhibitions (details of that coming to a post on here soon) and preparing my canvas for the Big Draw: 'Street Carpets' event happening in the High Street tomorrow and Saturday. Yes, this is an unashamedly blunt plug, but if there's a better way of letting lots of people know about it at short notice then I'd like to know how, besides you'd enjoy it if you chose to come along and take part! Its going to be fun!
Look out for artists in red tomorrow and Saturday! We'll be in Taunton's High Street with four different fun activities for you to try.There's a digital photography projection piece to be involved in making, two different drawing activities and a weaving activity with lengths of coloured tape as well.
All of the work is for the Big Draw 2011 but in Taunton we are also specifically using the opportunity to collect your ideas, thoughts, memories and experiences of the High Street. The responses we collect in the form of drawings, words, text, photos etc. will then be used as a creative resource to help inspire and provide input into the architects new designs for the High Street when it is re-developed.
We'll be there from 11.00 to 2.30pm tomorrow and Saturday! We'd love to see you.
All are welcome to come and draw on my map of the High Street! Pens provided, just bring yourselves!You know you want to, why else would you be reading the SAW blog unless you were interested in something arty?

Sounds good. I'll try and remember to tell my classes about it so you may get some Castle kids on Saturday. Hope it goes well, Vanessa
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day! Really enjoyed adding to the high street map and loved the interaction with the kids..... they were loving it. Hope the day collected some great ideas. Will head over and have a look. Thanks to everyone who made it happen!
