Workshop

Today I held a workshop working with a group of children in an art project. For my dissertation I am writing about creativity in education. I have been researching into the involvement of children in art work. Children all have creative abilities and should be encouraged to express their own ideas. I wanted them to draw and colour in their own designs and images on to white pumps. I used white pumps as I thought it was original and more exciting to work on rather than using paper. I coloured in some pumps to use as models.

I feel the workshop was a major success and the pumps were very colourful and expressive. The images drawn on the pumps indicate the children's different characteristics and interests. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and working with the children.

I took some photographs of the finished pumps from the workshop.
