Young Travellers
A crazy busy few weeks but today made it all worth while!
Today the 'young travellers' presented to their school - kinellar Primary. Their faces beaming with pride and smiling from ear to ear, the young people did a great job. We showed some slides and previewed our 'Young Travellers Stories and Puppet Animation'.
It looks so cute, I'll try to post it up on here in the next few days :)
A few slides -

Seatonsmile
A write up about the project ..............................>>>>>>>>>>>
Artist spreads the love in Seaton
A large yellow heart has arrived in Seaton for Valentines Day. The heart which is currently situated on School Road has been created by local people and is one of a number of temporary public art pieces created during the Creative Communities project in Seaton. The heart is made out of chicken wire and plastic bags; it has been present throughout the projects workshops and events with those attending adding to it over the month.
Artist Monica Wisniewski has been working with the Seaton community to creatively present positive messages which have been displayed publicly for all to see. Artworks produced have ranged from positive packets; a small weather proof packet containing a decorative and inspirational message, these packets were left in bus shelters on King Street and School Road for potential bus passengers to view, take away with them and hopefully make them smile. The second week saw small wooden plaques appear by the totem pole, again adorned with thoughtful messages, one by one the plaques disappeared as they found their new homes, with some documented on social media under #seatonsmile.
“During this project we explored the emotions and connections we have in our day to day lives. In response we created positive art through colour, texture and text with many different materials, theses creations were then displayed publically to express more widely our positive messages.The community really got on board with this project and the great messages of love about Seaton and each other were shared.”
Monica Wisniewski, artist
“It has been great to see the impact the positive messages have had on those involved in the project, from the ‘keep on going’ fabric strip on a tree from Seaton Schools primary 7s to ‘live life to the max’ and ‘Nae beattin’ Seaton’ engraved in wooden plaques from the Recovery Group. The uplifting theme of the project has reflected in people’s behavior with workshops and events having an inspiring feel and participants leaving cheerful and optimistic.”

Week 2 Creative Communities
So it's week 2 and I've been busy with lots of classes. The response this week has been fabulous with lots of people coming up with some great message. Thanks to the Seaton ladies, Seaton rehab recovery group, the volunteers and those who came to the drop in session. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's 'Family fun day' at Seaton community project and ending the week on a high.
