This was a great project because the young people that turned up really got involved in it. I was impressed by their complete understanding of abstract art, of making art that could not in any way be deemed useful and also of the ideas for using similar shapes and colours in a completely individual way. The challenges were in not knowing how many people would drop in, whether they would all come at once and the differing ages. I had a team of volunteer helpers who really got involved and parents of younger children also helped their own. The other challenge was a newly decorated community hall! I dream of having a place where us artists can work together on projects with the community but where we can make a bit of a mess!
