Art and Crafts Hacks starts here today!

After years of writing community news stories, I will be focusing on the art and design world as well. I am going back to my roots! I am going back to basics!
 

My aim is to share various hacks I have used as a teacher of art and of music in a an outstanding inner London school and at a school for children with autism. I must say that these time for me was one of the most fun times in my career.

I will be sharing some of my ideas and different activities that kept the children interested, excited and asking for more. I will also look into art history and links to general history but I will mostly be sharing my hacks and tricks and how to videos to keep you all entertained. And, remember art is for everyone. So, even if you think you cannot draw or paint you can try some crafts! 

 

The new website is coming soon. Watch this space.

Racist Art Exhibition in London cancelled due to massive protests

LONDON, UK - A Barbican art exhibition which features black performers in chains was cancelled after protesters blockaded the entrance and branded it 'racist'.

Exhibit B, which takes inspiration from 19 century human zoos in Europe and created by Brett Bailey, was due to open at The Vaults on Tuesday night.
But Barbican staff made the decision to cancel the opening shows after demonstrators blockaded the entrance and road leading up to the venue in Leake Street last night.

The 'Human zoo' art exhibition featuring black actors in cages and chains had travelled all over Europe but had to be cancelled after protesters block entrance to Barbican.
