The project focuses on how to get the full creative potential out of children by <em>inventing and adapting learned techniques<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This project evolved from a first meeting with the group in a one-hour workshop: making chalk, and using clay, paint, plaster and tools I had invented from scrap materials The group was a mix of 6- to 13-year-olds and they responded really well to the creative processes involved. The children loved the fact that the rolling pin was a brush handle and the clay cutter was made of an old guitar string. They enjoyed rolling the clay and were very eager to have a go mixing the paint and plaster and then pouring the mix.<\/p>\n<p>From this workshop, I gathered what it was that \u201chooked\u201d the children: they worked well with small tasks and it was from this that I derived the idea for the project.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This project is exciting for children because it legitimises getting dirty hands and has a direct, tangible artistic outcome.<\/p>\n<p>The group is interested in visiting a local Art venue so I have arranged for a special workshop to take place at the Dock Arts Centre. This will be in conjunction with an exhibition by renowned co-founder of the National Sculpture Factory and Aosd\u00e1na member <strong>Maud Cotter<\/strong>.\u00a0 Her exhibition in September, <em>in a consequence of a breather of air<\/em>, is founded upon reusing discarded materials and recycling plastics \u2013 this interfaces\u00a0neatly with our theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-7809","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Scrap and Scratch - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our project is based on making art materials from scratch and tools from scrap.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/scrap-and-scratch\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Scrap and Scratch - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Our project is based on making art materials from scratch and tools from scrap.
