After devloping the theme of circles inspired by the olympic rings to Wassily Kandinsky's Colour study-Squares with Concentric Circles 1913, the project expanded into the realm of using recycled circles in the form of old Cds and transforming them into plates for printmaking using an etching press. The results were spectacular and the titles evidence the originality and thought that went into the work.
The project is only in its early stages as we still have a term left to develop it and take it into the public arena to a gallery space in the W12 shopping centre. We have been colaborating with Todd Green from 'Shutter Art' who has secured the space and some funding from Hammersmith and Fulham towards materials for the final stage of the project.
When the work is complete we hope to invite the artists, their friends and families as well as the school to an opening to see the work. Two sales have already been made, so this is the first step towards making the art classes an opportunity for entrepreneurial approaches and possible ways of making it sustainable!
