Artrageous! Sat 11th Oct Beavers and Cubs celebrated the Campaign for Drawing’s Big Draw Day for the second year running. Last year they took part in The Big Draw at the Tate Modern, but this year they emulated the great artists themselves by taking part in ‘Artrageous!’ a fun afternoon recreating great works of art by renowned artists such as Jackson Pollock, Piet Mondrian and Pablo Picasso, and also learning some more modern skills such as computer art.
Artrageous was organised by Young Leader, Ben, as part of his leadership element of his Arts Award: ‘It was really rewarding to see the enjoyment the Beavers and Cubs had during Artrageous, they seemed to enjoy all the activities and went home laden with all their new creations. It was a good follow up to the trip to the Tate Modern last year, as many of them remembered seeing the original works of art and were keen to have a go themselves. They were also very keen to try the computer art. I learnt some new skills editing photos during a summer school at WYAC (Woking Youth Arts Centre) and taught Beavers and Cubs how to ‘liquify’ photos during Artrageous, they loved the grotesque results!’

February 2009 Hikes Away…. Beavers and Cubs enjoyed a snowy hike on Chobham Common achieving their Hikes Away 1 badge. We were lucky with the weather and although it was icy underfoot in places we could complete the hike without having to change our route. Well done to all those who came along—all Beavers and Cubs had a go at map reading and finished off the hike with a cup of hot chocolate and flapjack! |
