Sound and Sculpture Philadelphia Green Space 6th August 2009
The sun was beaming down as the Art in the Park team pitched their tents at Philadelphia Green Space in early August. With the help of some locals the team had assembled the gazebos and were ready to greet the young people with some exciting activities that explored the link between sound and visual art. Three artists brought different activities which included sound recording and performance, making ear trumpets to hear small sounds better, and making 3D graffic scores. Children and their families spent three hours playing with materials and working with the team to make what they heard into something they could see. The sun stayed all day and all enjoyed it to the full.
Winn Gardens Fun Day 20th August 09
Art in the Park were invited to Winn Gardens annual fun day, this year with a Hawaiian theme.
We have been running art and drama workshops up there throughout the summer so it was a lovely chance to be involved again.
The weather was not the greatest (our gazebo nearly blew away several times!) but spirits were high, and kids were desperate to play on the real ÔbeachÕ even in
the rain! We made beach scenes with torn up paper and pens, and designed our own surfboards. Everyone got really creative and we had some fantastic designs by the
end of the day!
