With every phase, each group are given Arts Kits. It
provides everyone with materials that they can use to document their time
whilst on project. All groups have been fantastically creative; Alpha 4 at
Carara, experimented with photography and produced some incredible images.
Using PM Emma's artistic expertise, they also created a beautiful diagram of their adventures at the National Park.
Alpha 8 at San Ramon used art as a means of engaging with
the community. Asking the local children what they wanted to be when they grew
up and their dreams for the future, what came out of these questions were
wonderful drawings, which will hopefully be turned into a mural for the
soon-to-be-completed school.
During changeover, the venturers got involved with an arts
project, which consisted of a lot of clingfilm and plenty of paint. Quite a few
went off on Phase 2 still looking very much like paint palettes… it was a messy
affair, but then good art always is!
Here are a few pictures from the venturers who submitted
their work for the changeover exhibition: the ‘Rallery’ (we do love puns).

The works have been excellent and I am really looking forward to seeing what’s been done in Phase 2!
