Pea Pod

Taylor Johns House got in touch with Bring Colour and asked us to deliver a quick street art workshop at The Pod.

Taylor Johns and The Pea Pod Collective were hosting an arts festival at the pod, we went along and worked with two groups in quick-fire 15 min sessions.
Everyone got the chance to make their own individual pieces using a variety of mixed media that they could keep.

The workshops we offer are flexible, creative, imaginative and fun.

Our Choice BBQ

The Groundwork gang have been running a youth project called 'Our Choice' for three years, working with young people aged 11-19 in the Tile Hill, Canley, Willenhall, Stoke Aldermoor, Hillfields & Foleshill areas of Coventry.

The 'Our Choice' project gave young people the change to get involved in their neighbourhood and get their voices heard on what they wanted to see happening in their neighbourhood.

Lou from Groundwork got in touch with Bring Colour, 'Our Choice' were having a summer BBQ for the young people at Coombe Abbey and wanted Bring Colour to come along and facilitate a workshop. The aim of the workshop was for the young people to create a piece of art, through which they could evaluate the 'our choice' project.

Back to School part 3

Bring Colour artist, John Mckeown was invited back for the third year in a row to deliver a Graffiti / Street art workshop at Cardinal Newman's Community Arts Festival.

The school wanted the young people to create some artwork with a science theme for them to display in the science block.

The weather on the day was awful but the young people battled against the elements & got creative!

Artwork Up.

When Bring Colour artist, John Mckeown was back at his old school, Cardinal Newman for their 2012 community arts festival, he managed to get a photo of the artwork that they created at last years workshop, mounted on the wall in the music block.

KASUM!

Last week we did some work for the guys at Positive Futures. We were called in to deliver one on one sessions with a young person who had chosen to complete a 10 hr project on the theme 'Graffiti Art'. He chose a name to develop 'KASUM' and set to work in his sketchbook.

Through his sketchbook he showed how the evolution from a simple tag style name up to a colourful 3d piece.

He used what he had learnt over the week to create a final piece in the last session.

It was the first time we had delivered one to one sessions in this kind of format and it went really well, the young person worked really well, created artwork that he was proud of and also got to take his sketchbook home to continue creating!
