The thing I've been spending most time on lately as far as the project goes is getting together a management plan. Identifying timelines, objectives, priorities, frameworks, constraints, resources and stakeholders. Documentation. Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.
While that stuff is dry and dare I say it - a little boring, at least its doing something.
The hard bit has been coming up with a concept for the workshops to fit into the constraints...
Those being:
  • Limited and varying time availability for delivery of classes (Grade 5&6 - 2x3 hr workshops over 8 weeks ,Prep-Year2 - limited 1 hr classes over 8 weeks)
  • minimal budget
  • Varying skill level/abilities of students
  • minimal storage availability
  • safety
  • location (subject to weather, vandalism)
  • aesthetics (delivering an aesthetically cohesive project)
A solution to the problem of a small budget is obviously to use readily available materials - and the one that comes to mind is cardboard. Free ! Awesome.
Ive been considering the possibility of working with the theme of "GROWING HOME" - thinking that the characteristics of cardboard may lend itself to some architectural style assemblages or structures. The thinking is that there is enough scope for the diverse age groups to achieve some thought provoking results while still keeping a cohesive aesthetic.



Ive been doing a little research and found some great resources here and here for kids sculptural projects that have provided some great inspiration.

A great place to gather materials is reverse art truck - And today I've had some fun playing with a Louise Nevelson style assemblage that could be a good way to go with the younger kids, if I can just solve the problem of suitable adhesives (ideas gratefully received).
