Dulwich Creative
“The encounter with art – and with others over art – can help us identify with one another, expand our notions of we, and show us that individual engagement in the world has actual consequences.” Olafur Eliasson n ‘Make your mark, making a mark, making it’ was the theme of this year’s Dulwich Creative. Central to the exhibitions and workshops was ‘slowing down’, taking time to engage and re-engage with materials. Across the College campus, all pupils from DUCKS through to Year 13 took part in the lesson ‘hijack’. Their drawing responses to the Dulwich community prompts hidden inside a cookie became part of a collaborative installation in the ‘Making It!’ hub. Throughout the week, students were challenged to ‘find their own’ as well as each other’s wide-ranging responses, from the obscure and humorous to the poignant. In addition, Years 3 and 4 made a collaborative mosaic piece with our visiting artist to celebrate 400 years of the College’s history. They also looked at the traditional art of our partner schools and created their own Ming vases using scratch art techniques and some origami frogs from Korea. Years 5 and 6 stencilled their own DC400 t-shirts in their Art and DT lessons, and learned about the Art and culture of our international schools in China and Myanmar during a Maths lesson in which they created colourful Peranakan Houses from Singapore and Pathein Umbrellas from Myanmar.
