Secondary School Projects

Ranelagh School

 

Under my skin investigates multicultural Britain from the perspective of Ranelagh School in Bracknell. A film-maker, poet, visual artist and theatre-designer worked in school for 10 weeks. Imagery from the poetry workshops and films was incorporated into an installation in a traditional Mongolian yurt. An exploration of identity, values, and our multicultural environment provides a future learning resource and powerful space to visit. Films /texts/ faces/ thoughts/ aspirations and promises interract through light projections, screenprints, prayer flags, digital prints, films and paint marks.

Carole works in primary and secondary schools on visual art projects making site specific installations. Discussion, drawing and photography are a starting point to inspire ideas around a theme and this raw material becomes the imagery for screenprints, digital prints, projections  and  paintings.
She works collaboratively with the students and uses techniques which often surprise students who have previously thought they were 'no good at art'. She also shows staff how to understand and incorporate these techniques simply and inexpensively into the classroom.  She has worked with photographers, filmmakers, poets, theatre designers, dancers and musicians.
