YOUNG ARTS SCHEME HADFAS Young Arts Scheme aims to encourage the appreciation and enjoyment of the arts by young people in the area. Since 1999 we have funded projects every year in local schools. Visiting artists have spent up to a week with the children passing on their expertise on a variety of subjects such as sculpture, painting, paper making and poetry.
Our
last project at Manland Primary School in October 2005 was extremely
successful. David Kefford, a sculpture from Wysing Arts near Cambridge,
helped the children to make imaginary creatures out of recycled materials.
David spent 4 days in the school and the children were delighted with the
large brightly coloured models they made. Some HADFAS members also attended
and had an enjoyable and challenging day.
Our
next project will be at Roundwood Primary School in November 2006. Barbara
Weeks, a textile artist, will spend 6 days with the children from Years 1 -
6, and they will create a hanging using a process called 'Nuno Felt'.
