Last time round

The last week of the doodle project with Ben went very well. Was great to see how far everyone had come on, with new members too on the last day they picked up things very quickly. With a new teacher, Scott, and new doodles a large variety of work was created.











The variety of stuff produced was great to see, some stuff very simple and comical, whereas Ash went for a more delicate floral print, which in the end turned out superb. It was great to see how everyone loved being so freely creative in their work, which is something that i admired about the project. Allowing everyone to work at their own pace, and to their own ability.

Soooo finally figuring out how to post things on here, few weeks to late but it's better than never! Been working with Ben and his collegues for about 7 weeks throughout August on a doodle project. We worked on Screen printing in the DCA trying to develop pieces of work from the doodles that Ben's collegues had drawn whilst working in the Bank of Scotland.




In the first 3 weeks it was great to see the variety of doodles coming from everyone. From Carols simple faces to Ash's delicate patterns. Claire ran through the process with everyone, from coating the screens with photographic emulsion to exposing the doodle images to the UV light.










Carol, very enthusiastic about learning the process, and considered taking up future classes in the DCA. It was good to see how aware it made people of the fantastic facilities in the DCA and what can be created, while having fun at the same time. Many of the prints made are being considered for an exhibition thats going to be put on in the Bank and hopefully other call centres.

Nine Trades Apprentices!!!!!!

Nine Fine Art 3rd year students from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design will be selected to assist the nine artists in the workplace, giving them the benefit of creative and professional development through working on a ‘live’ project. They will gain an understanding of how an artist engages with context and community of interest, in this case trade.

We will be advertising to the 3rd year students soon after the start of semester.
