A Garden You Can Eat
Event One:
Peace in the Park
Ponderosa
14 June 2008
Art in the Park joined forces with the popular and ever-growing Peace in
the Park festival this year in the Ponderosa for our first event of the
summer project, 'A Garden You Can Eat'! The sun managed to break through
the clouds, allowing us to have a warm and beautiful afternoon in which
to carry out the activities led by our new artist facilitator, Lindsay
Berry.
We were nestled in the frenetic and exciting children's area where kids
and adults had fun experimenting with our circus equipment and easel
painting, as well as covering the playground with colourful chalking
designs. The most popular activity involved creating nature palettes
(small shapes with natural materials found in and inspired by the
Ponderosa) and sticking them onto our giant painted beanstalk. Other
volunteers and participants also helped to make a beautiful archway,
welcoming everyone into the kid's area. It was a busy and exciting day
and was a great way to kick off our summer project!
Event Two:
Ruskin Park Fun Day
Ruskin Park
July 2008
This was the second event for our current project 'A Garden You Can Eat' with artist facilitator Lindsay Berry. It was an all round success, the sun wasn't shining but thankfully it didn't rain. We had some great hands on activities in our gazebo such as making your own paper, modeling animals out of vegetables and easel painting. All the fun day visitors seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves, having a go at everything we had on offer and were able to take their wonderful creations home with them. My favourite vegetable animal had to be a poodle and its food bowl made from brocoli, celery, courgette and a raddish. The paper making was lots of fun, we added all sorts to create different texture and colour including seeds, beetroot and flowers. The children got really creative with this and took things from their natural surroundings to mix in. There were plenty of families getting involved in the easel painting area which has always been a popular activity.
The Ruskin Park fun Day as a whole was great, there were lots of interesting things going on in other tents, fantastic food stalls and live music and dancing. Just goes to show you don't need the sun to have fun.
Event Three:
August 6th 2008
Philadelphia
The latest event in the series ‘A Garden You Can Eat’ involved getting your hands dirty and completing a clay oven to be used in the final event to cook pizza! The sun shone and people of all ages flocked to get their hands stuck in, moulding clay into a decorative multi-coloured oven. If getting dirty wasn’t your thing then Access Space, Sheffield, provided the opportunity to smash up old computers to create garden ornaments and name plaques from keyboard letters. Hallam Fm even dropped by to publicise the events on the radio and take part of course!
