May Half Term Activities 2009
As part of Sheffield Environment Weeks, Art in the Park hosted four events in four different parks around the city.
26th May - Middlewood Park, Hillsborough
27th May - Mount Pleasant Park, Sharrow
28th May - Hillsborough Park, Hillsborough
29th May - Ruskin Park, Walkley
Artist Cara Flynn lead different activities inspired by the sounds of the park, encouraging participants to explore the sights and sounds that can often go unnoticed. Participants went on walks around the green spaces, collecting sounds and thoughts as they went. These were recorded onto mp3 players and built into brightly decorated bird boxes to surprise passers by! Other popular activities included making birds from paper plates, bird masks and kites. These activities also took place at Ruskin Park Fun Day and Peace in the Park festival.
Lessons learned from my first dayÕs volunteering:
Art in the Park Gazebos are not as robust against strong wind as the twin industrial chimneys poking above the trees.
One free vegi-pasty takes you further into the afternoon than a salad.
Help 5 year old Alfy make a bird mask and he WILL run across the playground screaming and flapping his arms.
His 10 year-old sister will NOT see the funny side, even with encouragement.
Grown-ups cannot complete all origami designs.
No-one likes to leave the roof unattached to their bird-box, however fiddly it is to apply.
A fluorescent blue vest does not give the wearer extra power or authority over playground bullies.
Rub vegetable suet into bread to make a bird feeder, or into your palms to achieve a long-lasting softness.
Do NOT throw glitter into the wind unless you wish to be transformed into a weeping angel with sparkly face and hair.
