Winter HAF 2022
We have put a slideshow together with some of the young peoples' creations....
#YES SUCCESS! February Half Term 2022
 100% of young people said they enjoyed taking part and that they learnt something new |  Nearly 5 Star rating! |  100% of young people said they'd like to do RAW activities again |
The young people created some fantastic pieces of art including:
- A large sectioned portrait of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo
- 5 Ways to Wellbeing posters
- Greetings cards
- Cubism style acrylic paintings
- Slate Coaters decorated with napkin decoupage
- Tee-shirt designs
- Ceramic tiles decorated with Posca Pens
- Grid drawings and
- Paracord bracelets and key rings.
Alongside the creative activities they also learnt some British Sign Language
“I enjoyed them because I liked making the cool monsters”
“They were all very fun”
“It was calming”.
“It’s so fun because we designed, and we be able to wear it [Tee shirts].”
“Because it was mostly all my ideas on the canvas, and there wasn’t much of a prompt for me to follow so I was able to use my own creativity to complete the task.”
“I like using glue and doing things with my hands :D”
“Because all of them were amazing and you got to try some things you haven’t done before it is an unbelievable experience.”
“I enjoyed them as I have learnt new things that I would love to make again.”
“I enjoyed making the T-shirt because I made one of my favourite things that I can’t buy at the shop.”
“They all were educational or creative.”
“They all made me learn and get better at drawing.”
“I liked the newspaper activities because you could use your imagination and with most of the activities you could express about yourself.”
“I enjoyed drawing and designing T shirts. I also liked making the self portrait of Frida [Kahlo].”
“Because I learned new stuff.”
“They were fun.”
“They were most fun for me, and I learnt new stuff!”
“Because they were fun and not hard.”
General Feedback:
“It was very enjoyable.”
“The staff were really kind, friendly and approachable and I have enjoyed my time here.”
