STEAM Power saw students from The CE Academy design, build and race an electric car against an international field at Rockingham Speedway.
Alternative Monday 15 – Rest Energy
Our Rest Energy re-enactment involved James and a student connected by a resistance band and the student poised with a cream pie directed at James’ face.
Alternative Monday 14 – Le Soleil Brille Dans Tes Yeux
We would create, play and question the ways that photographs impact upon our lives. The days were shaped by the contagious energy of the students.
Alternative Monday 13 – Carol Christmas
When the beautiful and perpetually surprising post-kiln results are delivered, they are like late and forgotten Carol Christmas gifts
Alternative Monday 12 – Going with the flow
Going with the flow is how you have to work with excluded kids. It’s also how, as creatives, we want to be. On the move, developing ideas as we flow along.
Arts Hero – Rebecca Lee
Ellie from The CE Academy met and interviewed her Arts Hero, artist and musician Rebecca Lee when she visited us to deliver a sound art workshop.
Alternative Monday 11 – Learning Exchange
We were visited by artist David Blyth and students from Gray’s School of Art, on a study visit aiming to form a pedagogical learning exchange through shared experience.
Alternative Monday 10 – Curious Objects
Louise Clarke encouraged students to take a playful and experimental approach to mould making, using plaster to create small objects and sculptural forms by discovering through making rather than pre-planning.
Alternative Monday 9 – Stewardship
In 2015 our students visited NN Contemporary Art’s New Life exhibition. Even a cursory knowledge of art history for these students meant crossing a threshold of otherness.
