Out There Challenge

Really excited about Joe's session today - https://eu.bbcollab.com/guest/e7178217c3da408fa77734c93b2d37bd

Don't worry, you won't be forced to do anything you don't want to do - it will be silly, fun and we are all in it together! And you know what a sense of achievement you get when you push yourself out of your comfort zone!

See you at 2pm!

You know here at the we like to get you out of your creative zone, well we think this one is an absolute doozy!

Once again we've come together with the awesome UoL, AHC Support & Wellbeing group as part of their ace series.

We could all use a bit of a laugh at the moment, so join stand-up comedian and clown Joe Kent-Walters this Wednesday, 22 April, for an interactive workshop on silliness and play from wherever you happen to be.

Expect props, characters and games!

Don't forget about Beth's workshop today!

Please bring along an object or a photograph of something that you have noticed recently. This could be collected on a walk outdoors, through the window of your home or even inside your house. We will be using these treasures as starting points to inspire our writing.

All you need to bring apart from from this is a pen, a notebook and a piece of A4 paper.

To take part just join us here at 2pm: https://eu.bbcollab.com/guest/a382f959daf642bf8731f780750cfa15

If you haven't signed up to Beth's workshop tomorrow then read this amazing feedback for the session she did for us for at the beginning of March.

You too can get back in touch with your creative side!

Hey Out There Challenge gang - hope you are ok during these strange times. What have you been doing to challenge yourself creatively? Last week I recreated a painting as part of UoL, AHC Support & Wellbeing .

This Wed, 8 April, we are lucky enough to have our favourite, Beth Calverley run an online creative writing workshop. Don't worry if you don't think you are good at writing, or being creative, Beth will talk you through it and I GUARANTEE that you'll be proud of your creation after!

It was a response to the artworks: Mary Dove of Leeds and Galway Peasants.

Some quotes from our last Out There Challenge:

"Do give it a try, it will definitely exceed what you’ve imagined it to be."

"The Out There Challenge is a great way to there and do something new. Don’t leave creative things such as arts, crafts and short story writing in your childhood. You’re never too old or too ‘uncreative’ to be creative. The Out there challenge is a great way to start as they’re always supportive and encouraging of continuing to explore creative pursuits."

Bit of a coincidence today, I spotted a gorgeous picture on a wall in an office today and I knew I'd seen it before! Geraldine R Montgomerie is the amazing artist and she was thrilled to find out that our fabulous students had used it in part of their massive postcard artwork celebration of Leeds as part of the festival a few years back- Tom Arts Minds

This challenge, on 3 April 2019, led by FAHACS finalist, Alex Oliver, and Design finalist, Bach Singh inspired our participants to get out, get creative and use nature to inspire works of art.

(the quality photos are by Helen Brook, the not so great ones are by Tess Hornsby Smith!)
