Purbeck Young Artists 2012
Purbeck Young Artists (PYA) is
the childrens’ section of the Festival.
Our aim is to promote and celebrate
the creativity of children of all ages.
Each year the PYA team encourage
schools to explore a shared theme
and explore new creative activities.
Outside of school, the performers
who are playing at the Festival lead
more workshops to introduce young
people to their techniques and share their experience. This year
Stephen Warbeck, the Gabrieli Consort and several local artists
are sharing their skills.
The PYA theme this year is ‘Carnival of the Animals’ and children
are creating artwork, music, drama and creative writing inspired
by the music of Camille Saint-Saens.
We are delighted that 5 professional
artists have agreed to lead workshops
in 12 of our local schools. Children aged
7 to 17 are able to develop their skills
in painting, mask making, sculpture,
music and story telling with the help
of experienced professional artists.
Outcomes from the workshops will be
showcased at the PYA Celebration Event
at Swanage Middle School, at the ‘Crown
the Castle’ Parade and on exhibition at
Rollington Barn. YouTuba’s ‘Carnival of The Animals’ tea party
and concert offers an exciting opportunity to hear the music and
see the children’s artwork together.
