Compared to January, a much quieter month, and it has completely flown by. Here is what we've been up to...
A creative Kids Club with Connie from The Second Act Gallery
Connie came for a session and the children all created works inspired by their current exhibition, which is themed around the nature of faith, power and pseudo-sciences into our human relationships, through the use of familiar objects.
The first activity was Mask Making, thinking about how many belief systems and stories use masks to represent power, identity, or transformation. The kids could create their own mystical mask that gives them a special ability. There were masks made that gave you the ability to talk to animals, see into the future, and teleportation goggles.
The second was Lucky Charms/Objects. Based on the idea that charms hold meaning in faith, power and magical stories, so the kids could create their own "powerful” object to keep hold of.
The third was Collage - since Juice plays with symbols and familiar objects, kids could create a collage using cut-out images and drawings that represent something personal or powerful to them. There were worlds where the children had to swim to school, where there were always rainbows, and where everything floated!
A creative session at BNP Paribas
We took the Rainbow Club down to BNP Paribas's offices for a day of creativity - we drew onto canvases, made jewellery and did lots of colouring in!
Philip & Ann's Birthday Lunch
Philip and Ann share a birthday, so we celebrated with a wonderful pub lunch!
Preparing for our next exhibition...
Caroline and Ella have been busy behind the scenes trying to set a date and venue for our next (amazing) exhibition - we are almost there and will let you know soon! But in the meantime, the adults and the children have begun their workshops to produce some amazing works to exhibit!
We hope the exhibition will be in April.
