I met up with Kerry my Arts Award mentor in January this year to discuss my ideas for my leadership project. I wondered whether to do an exhibition of my art work or whether to do a teaching session to pass on an art skill.
I talked to my Art Teacher at my Friday lesson to perhaps doing an exhibition in his studio, or another option was to teach one of the younger children at the Art Lesson a digital art skill.
I decided that I wanted to pass on an art skill to a group of mixed age people and I wanted to complete my Arts Award before the end of July this year.
I thought about teaching making creative sketches and paintings of liquids and objects. I did a rough sketch of some ideas.
I decided not to do watercolours as it might be hard for people to use their imagination and hard to teach them how to do that.
Do I decided to teach the drawing of the human eye.
Today (24th April), I met with my Arts Award mentor, Kerry, and we discussed unit 2 of the Arts Award; what we need to achieve in this section. We particularly discussed leadership, and the skills needed for leadership. She encouraged me to take part in a leadership role of some sort, like teaching people a form of art, or planning an exhibition for my art. We also talked about working with other people, and working together, and taking a leadership role.
Here are some of the things that I considered:
What qualities do you think a good leader needs to have?
What leadership skills would you like to develop in your arts leadership project?
I want to develop:
Describe your arts leadership project. What are you going to do? What will the overall aims and outcome be?
I am going to pass on Art skills, particularly drawing. I decided I would teach how to draw human eyes. I will do a practice run beforehand to make sure that I understand what I need to do and the best way to teach it. I chose the eye because I have been working hard in this Arts Award to improve my portrait drawing skills and I think that the human eye is very interesting to draw and something that people might struggle with.
What resources will you need? Are there any health & safety considerations?
I will get my resources from home and if I need to buy anything I'll probably use the art section at The Range to buy any extra resources I will need.
What will your leadership role be? What will you be responsible for doing?
I want to get together a small group of people so that I can teach them the skill of drawing the eye.
How will this help you develop leadership skills?
I hope that this will improve my communication skills as I will need to be clear in explaining how to achieve this. It will also improve my creativity as I will have to think quickly and creatively how to teach different people with different abilities how to draw the eye. I hope to inspire people to enjoy drawing as it is a very enjoyable hobby.
Will you be working with other people? What will they be doing? How does your role relate to the roles of others?
I will need to work with the participants - to invite them to the lesson, to find out what their skill set is and if they would like to take part. I will need to ask permission to use a room for the lesson.
