Me But Better
Dressing up...
Acting out...
Becoming someone else...
Strike a pose...
Snapshot...
Memory lane...
Emotional journey...
And that's just the start!

Week One Review
The first week has flown by and we have completed our first project together; the visual map of me.
In this project, you work on top of photographs of yourself to create a highly unique and personal piece of artwork that speaks volumes about your current skills and your potential.
Here are two great examples from Connor and Bekkii.
Connor spent so long created his awesome rock hands and pop art inspired trainers he forgot about his head! So that was packed up and taken home in his backpack, hopefully to be returned on Wednesday!
Bekki's random collages clearly show her personality and the rainbow in the bottom segment goes some way to explaining her feelings regarding gay rights.
Great work guys, keep it up!

Friday's Highlights
Friday highlights: Our first external visitor, Jayne Wilson, came in and introduced us to Art Psychotherapy, which is a form of therapy where artwork is used as visual communication. She explained about her progression into this career and what you have to do during training. Jayne also delivered an activity based around Mandala's and below are our results. Can you guess which Mandala belongs to who?

Visual Map of Me
Today we started our Visual Map of Me project which will run till Friday.
Visual Map of Me is based on four photographs of body parts and four questions:
Head: Who am I?
Hands: What am I good at?
Body: What do I like/dislike?
Feet: Where am I going?
Mixed media is used to work in layers on top of the photographs to try and answer the questions using words and pictures.
Keep watching for the final results!

REALISE has Lift Off!
On Friday we started the REALISE Project with an induction afternoon.
First things first, let's get the food sorted! Every session is going to start with a shared lunch in the delivery room that will be arranged by the REALISE staff. We dined together on a buffet - feast courtesy of Muz; I think I almost became a pear I ate that many pieces of it!
Through the lunch time chit chat, I found out that favourite foods in the group are; chocolate cake, pizza and Chinese...Hmmmm not the healthiest of options there guys! Perhaps we can try and lighten these up and see if we can still eat our favourites but with a healthy spin on them?
I also discovered that we have a resident baker in our group who has photographic evidence of the most delicious cakes. I hope that we get to sample some soon!
As the afternoon got under way, we all got to know each other a bit better and found out more about each other's expectations and also what REALISE is going to entail. Everyone took home an induction pack, full of information about the project including practicalities, course set up and the realy important REALISE agreement.
Then we had a go at two activities, 'Hands of Time' and 'Getting to Know Me Man.' Each activity had an independent and a pair work section so we could find out more about each other in a fun and creative way. Then, we fed back to each other as a group to help us gel.
My favourite is the 'Getting To KNow Me Man' as it still surprises me every time how different each side is when the same questions are being asked. It truly makes for fascinating reading/viewing!
I am so pleased to have met everyone at last and I look forward to seeing our last minute recruits who are joining ranks with us next (now this in fact) week.
I have got some FANTASTIC projects lined up for us so with your enthusiasm and creativity, we should be ready to rock!
See you Wednesday!

REALISE
It is now only a few weeks away until the start of our new and improved programme at Archway and I for one am getting pretty psyched about the things we have got in store. So much so, that I thought I better get on here and rant a bit about the whole thing!
We are going to be doing such a wide range of creative arts activities from independent work to huge, perhaps even monumental, group pieces. In addition, we will be showing how the Arts are a viable option for continuing education, employment or training by meeting professionals already in the biz and chatting with potential providers.
If you are not signed up yet, get your referral sorted now! Are you 16-19 and not in any education, employment or training? If so, this is just for you!
To sign up, just chose one of the following options and we can help get you a place :)
Face to face: at Archway or Connexions and ask for Muz or Lea.
Telephone: 0113 383 3900 and ask for Muz, Lea or Ruth
Email: REALISE@sarahjanemason.com
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis so, don't delay get in touch today! Can't wait to hear from you all!

First Post
So, as you are all going to blog I thought I might do a bit too. Perhaps just once a week to keep a sort of diary about what is happening and maybe put up some piccies too.
Still, I fear that this post is going to be rather dull as it is just a tester post and I have very little to say!
Looking forward to the course starting and excited about all of the new Creative Arts activities I am planning.
See you all soon
