Using Their Senses to Make Sense of Things

Our final session with the adults began gently as we drew to music, letting the sounds direct our hands and the marks we made. With eyes closed, and using the less-dominant hand, we held factory tools and drew them, feeling the zig-zag of the clamp screw, the hammer’s hook, the coolness of the steel.

We added colour, flicking paint, rolling graphite, pouring water, dribbling ink. And we made goals to make time to be creative and to do more art.

Over at the school, it was lie-down-and-draw-your-partner time on huge strips of lining paper taped to the floor.

The outlines were embellished with added colour and elements of the artwork created by the children over the past 10 weeks.

These included acetate tracings, used in making the cyanotype prints, embossed silver foil lettering and pattern rubbings.

Snippets of photos and newspaper clippings helped to complete the players.

Congratulations to everyone who took part; we hope you had a great time playing for Extra Time
