The challenge I set the group was to make and race your own cars created from discarded objects.  

With this heatwave I thought a fun sensory idea would be to make rain shaker sticks, that trickle like rain drops, and hanging golden suns.  I decided to set another summery theme with mandala sand paintings.

I led the group in Spring flower tea towel printing, from making our own block prints with foam and card.

In accordance with Bromley Mencap and PCDL, I ran two art courses, one consisting of craft and culture being more tactile and easier for beginners, the second focussed on technical art making skills and concepts, enabling learners to work on more self initiated pieces.   Here are a few beautiful results of all the students hard work. Giacometti inspired wire sculptures Clay gargoyles Folk art on wood   Kandinsky inspired ink resist circles Damien Hirst inspired spinner paintings   Tape paintings on stretched canvas   Gustav Klimt inspired Tree of Life gold and jewelled decoupage images

My painting of the 'Bombus subterraneous' bee has been requested for promoting Survival Arts Short-haired Bumblebees, which is rather lovely.  You can find out more at the following address http://transitiontownlouth.org.uk/bees.html
