Featured Artwork July 2011

During Ballymagee Youth Club Summer Scheme, I lead a series of visual art workshops relating to the Native American Culture. After looking at large scale rock drawings and paintings, we decided to create our own story on a similar scale. 
Our starting point was a canoe and look where it took us! 
The art group did a fabulous job narrating their imaginative story to the rest of the summer scheme participants. 

Native American Totem Poles

 Working with Ballymagee Youth Club and Ardglass Youth Club, we investigated the significance of carved animals in Totem Poles and the meaning of each colour. The group picked their favourite animals and created a 3D totem pole using card, paint and feathers!
