Multi-Sensory Wonderland Inspires Young Artists
Students from College Row School explored varied exciting sensory art activities to ignite their creativity!
In Term 3 AWESOME Artists Kylie Bywaters and Tao Issaro travelled onto the lands of the Wardandi Noongar People to College Row School for one week to spend exploring numerous exciting sensory art forms with the students. This inspired and showcased the participant's creativity and self-expression though the arts.
A school classroom was transformed into a colourful and engaging workshop space and with multiple different sensory art forms including craft works, kinesthetics, music and movement. Each day an array of different sensory activities were organised by the artists and the students were able to move through the space and discover what most connected with them and sparked their creativity.
The adaptive activities allowed the participants to focus on their unique connection with different artforms and discovered ways to express their personality, skills and talents. Each session had collaborative elements where the young artists could work with their peers and shine in a team activity.
The residency culminated in a vibrant dance party. This reflected the students love for music and movement. A picture slideshow of the week’s works were showcased and school staff could celebrate the achievements of the young artists and the special memories created.
Creative Challenge is AWESOME Arts’ core education program that embeds contemporary teaching artists in schools across the state. The residency program aims to build pride in community and explore self-expression through project management and creative learning skills.
This residency was proudly supported by Healthway and the Go for 2&5 message.
