Hand Project<br />
This project was to teach students about the importance<br />
of images in context. It also encouraged students to reach<br />
out to the wider school community, make the artworks<br />
engaging for all and to be a dynamic part of <strong>Brighton</strong>. In<br />
groups, students decided on suitable locations around the<br />
school. They brainstormed what type<br />
of hand positions they could create that<br />
suited their location, ensuring that there<br />
was a connection between the two. Then<br />
they selected the most suitable members<br />
of the school community to model their<br />
hands. These final hand photographs<br />
were then enlarged, printed, cut out and<br />
pasted on the wall using wheat paste<br />
glue. However, after they were pasted,<br />
it rained for 3 days straight! The glue<br />
needed time to set; consequently the<br />
paste-ups did not last. Thankfully, Peter<br />
agreed to come back during the holidays<br />
to re-paste the artworks.<br />
The Street Art Project was a dynamic<br />
and exciting learning experience.<br />
Students and staff enjoyed learning<br />
through this contemporary art form and<br />
we were all inspired by Peter Drew’s<br />
leadership, skills and direction.<br />
