This project being carried out throughout June 2009, is a BRIT School Visual Arts and Design, Croydon and St. Christoper's Hospice, Sydenham, Community collaboration.
We will be working on a collaborative project with a group of patients and their Community Artist, a staff member of the St. Christopher’s Hospice Arts Team. Each Wednesday for the first 4 weeks of the project we will be producing work in workshops at St Christopher’s then we will spend the remainder of the week in school working on the material created and gathered to produce a final outcome of an animation video and presentation that we will share in week 5 (Wednesday 1st July).
We will be exploring the theme ‘Teenagers in London: Yesterday and Today’. Focusing on: - Dialogue as art-making - Illustrating narratives - Retelling stories/memories through animation - Patients as material source, students as artistic developers, collaboration as production technique.
