Yesterday whilst we were admiring Sculptures and other works of Art with eye watering price tags (Please see this mornings post https://davidoakesimages.wordpress.com/2016/10/07/flippant-friday-lets-play-statues/ )
Young Students from our local college were busy in the woods creating their own autumnal displays. The rules are simple use only that which is on the woodland floor no breaking branches, etc. The trees of course can be props and part of the artwork…
But here is the neat twist. It is not that all the materials are FREE but yesterday was day one! These are by the Art Students…
Today is the bonus part of the scheme when youngster that need help with education and life come along….inspired by these sculptures and then helped and encouraged by the Art Students the youngsters will be able to try out their own ideas and skills. They also have a day out from school, a play in the woods (which for many will be a first) and a Picnic at lunch time.
No Expensive price tags here….and soon they will be swallowed up by time and weather….but this now annual autumnal event must have a much bigger payback for the kids and students.
