ALTERATIONS
Education Project | Creekside Open
2011
Tidemill Primary School in Deptford is moving into a new building
in the Autumn of 2011. The designs for the new building are full
of improvements to what was once a fit for purpose building; small
group work areas for each classroom, outdoor learning areas, moving
walls to allow teacher to team teacher two classes and disabled
access to all classrooms. Alteration and correction is part of the
pupils' everyday life, work is marked by teachers, pupils peer and
self assess their work, grades are given, stamps are stamped, stickers
and stuck and through constant correction and assessment their young
minds work things out.
The Creekside Open was a great chance to take a handful of Tidemill's
most gifted artists and allow them to work beside an amazing array
of contemporary art. Jack Brown worked with selected pupils from
the school to select, assess and alter the art works on display.
During gallery-based workshops, pupils produced their own altered
versions of selected artworks. As well as producing actual art objects,
pupil will had the opportunity to work in the empty gallery space
between the two exhibitions. This opened up further corrective possibilities;
projecting and photographing their work, re-hanging their new altered
versions, filming their artwork outside of the gallery space, transforming
still images through animation even re-staging film/video works.
The final display
of work was a short film including footage of pupils working in
the space, slides of preparatory work such as drawings or marking
schemes, audio of them talking about the project and images for
the artworks they made.
Images of the work produced and possibly some of the actual artworks
will be hung in the new school's entrance hall. Tidemill Primary
