Special Projects

Group work invoving students or artists, working within a creative design brief and leading to the presentation of completed artworks for exhibition or display within a permanent site-specific context.

Below is the Coulsden College Trytych which illustrates fully the way in which my creative processes can be adapted and applied in an educational setting.

Images were concieved and designed to scale before being drawn and painted off-site

My role as commissioned artist was that of a mentor, helping the students to steer their own creative activity within a structured process

Students worked in rotation form one area of painting to another

This allowed for a fusion of individual painting and drawing styles

The students worked with close reference to their three-quarter size scale drawings
