More Art Activities Film making workshops using DV video and ‘Imovie’ editing equipment/software – this encourages teamwork and utilises all the varied skills available in one class; it involves the students in costume and set design, script writing, make-up, narrating, acting, illustrating, animating, editing – everyone gets involved!
Community arts project – a wider ranging project that could include the students’ friends and family from their native countries. In a previous project, students made a life-size elephant sculpture in a joint effort with students of the same age from Bombay in India. Using the internet, the students were able to connect, swap stories and learn about each other’s cultures and experiences; all the pictures, letters and stories that they collated were used as inspiration to create a printed fabric for the skin of the elephant. This sort of project works incredibly well in a multi-cultural class, fostering a better understanding and appreciation of diversity.
