Exhibition of Work by “Interim provision team” students.
The aim was to expose the students to the ‘Pop Art’ movement whist exploring current pop imagery so that they may respond by creating new art work which reflects their experience of contemporary popular culture. T.A. Kate Eley and myself found that contextualizing in this way made the subject more relevant and understandable to the class (male, 14-16 year olds)
I was very proud of the conduct shown by these young men as they entered into the spirit wholeheartedly and responded by creating interesting and thought provoking work. The comments book was filled with many positives and I would happily attempt staging an event like this again again.
