Selected work from two of this month’s Y6 workshops in a Leeds Primary School. This full day workshop incorporates a range of creative thinking, writing, speaking and artistic skills as well as a developing of personal and communal sensibilities with group meditation and communication. Underpinning the work is a thorough presentation of the world’s sacred visual art and contextual information relating to universal principles and purposes with much focus on every individual essentially as a unified being with unlimited potential and consciousness.
The workshop aims to ignite the learners own positive beliefs and sense of Self and provide a basis for creating and exhibiting a personal piece of ‘sacred’ art in the form of a mandala type ‘identity plaque’ with collage and paints on a wooden square.
The final work may have an intrinsic semi-fictional aspect in the sense of ‘changing the past’ or ‘becoming, in the future’.
A final evaluation (which may take the form of a group exhibition) and the workshop as a whole, shows that self-learning is as important as knowlege acquisition.
