Art Skills for Development offers a workshop based approach to visual art for communities, groups and individuals to build skills, confidence and capacity in using art for professional, social and economic change.
Simple art techniques that everyone can master are the basis of interactive participatory sessions that draw on the universal abilities we all have to make art.
Session activities look at life drawing, papier mache, mosaic and painted murals, sketch walks, environmental installations, small scale sculpture, re-cycled and up-cycled arts and crafts.
Larger projects lead towards public art installations and programmes, in-service training for teachers and other professionals.
ART SKILLS for DEVELOPMENT is committed to the delivery of quality visual art experiences for people of all abilities and interests and for all groups and communities seeking opportunities for social, environmental and economic improvement through positive engagements with art.
It is a workshop based approach to the practice and application of visual art through interactive activity sessions in mural making, mosaics, drawing, sculpture and crafts. Projects are often collective with an emphasis on skills development and building capacity for art as a tool for professional and personal growth.
