OPINION is a wonderful opportunity for enthusiastic, engaged, open and creative students (13-19 yr olds) who have something to say or want to learn how to have something to say. The art workshops will involve discussion and explore a variety of media

photography, blogging, drawing, film making, painting, composing text, banner-making, gardening, shouting, dancing, collage, clay-modelling, facebook, noise making, tweeting

The venues are fantastic: for the first 3 days (Wednesday 6th June-Friday 8th June) we will be in the heart of Leeds Met University's Becket's Park Campus at the Landscape Resource Centre

The sessions are 4hours long. 10am-2pm Please bring some lunch with you! Lunch will be part of the session a break and time to relax and develop friendships maybe....

On Saturday 9th June we will make and display an exhibition in Leeds Town Hall. This workshop will run from 10am-1pm and at 2pm we will open to the public!

The workshops are free. You don't need any prior experience, but you must book in advance for each day you wish to attend

We have already started a blog about the project so please take a look. Here there are maps and further information.

FAQs

Please explain the project further...

Hi

Sorry for late response

Our main aim

In designing the project was to give young people an opportunity to debate/discuss/find out what they think about stuff....or discover what they don't have an opinion about.....

All the materials/modes if expression will be possible workshops but....

Activities will be participant led

So a topic/subject will be chosen during the first part of a session...eg. Vegetarianism then a mode of discussion will be explored eg.clay

The debate or discussion or exchange if ideas will be through the chosen medium

However each session will be open to rethinking redirecting abandonment blah blah

Basically if it isn't going well or ideas dry up we will choose a new topic or medium or both and the participants will all have a choice/say/opportunity toexpress their expectations of the session

The sessions are 4hours long! So lunch will be part of the session a break and time to relax and develop friendships maybe....

The space we have at Leeds met is really brilliant it's where they teach landscape architecture with indoor amd outdoor spaces so it will be great for young people to be part of the leeds met campus but also quite hidden away

Anyway my trains arrived so better send this to you before I lose the email

Is this easier to understand ?

Me what you think

Hope Fridays being a fun day
