Scenery Painting

Another busy week, but lots of fun was had by all. The children enjoyed colourful freestyle painting on huge opened-out cardboard boxes which will be used as scenery for the upcoming performance at 2pm on 22nd May at the Charles Cryer Theatre. We also painted a large rainbow to use as part of the display at the Europa Gallery 17th-21st May.

In sorting out all the artwork we had amassed from all the children over the weeks of the project, it was clear we had inspired the creativity of both the children and the adults. The light boxes are almost done and look incredibly effective and we have also illustrated almost every line of the song. The Sutton Amateur Film-Makers Society have been very generous in offering their time to make a music video for the song, and one of our parents is also editing the reams of footage of the Project we have already shot.

A Poem on Black & White by Amy

The night is silent, silent like pleasure
Tripping and turning bends, like honey seeping,
The golden combs, like an unheard murmur of
A silent sort, silent, like a trembling witness
Too scared to speak.
