Drawing to Music

By Sheila Ceccarelli

Following on from Paula’s post on Taking Risks in Drawing, Sheila Ceccarelli describes how she ran a session in which teenagers explored drawing to music as a way of enabling them to take creative risks in their work.

What We Like About This Resource….

“Faith’s work creating sculptures using recycled or discarded plastic is really beautiful, and exceeds expectation of what we might consider scrap plastic being able to do. The processes she uses, particularly with the dancing figures, are all easily accessible to a school setting, with tape, card, wire being relatively inexpensive and simple to use. Delivering an Art project using waste plastic has cross curricular links with other subject areas, particularly PSHE and Geography where children may be learning about the environment and how to protect it” – Tobi, AccessArt.
