I've booked myself in for more storytelling activities this Sunday at Popperbox's event called 'Lost and Found'. I guess as an emerging artist, I'm always trying to plug myself in to as many storytelling stimuli and activities as possible to develop my range as a trainer and facilitator and I can't help but be a part of this one!
Popperbox are holding a community consult for all our public art projects, and thought of theming it around things lost and found - to kind of break the ice, and give people some context to talk about the art pieces and get some feedback. I've attached the flyer (and some of the activities we'll do on the day to give you an idea).
So part of the day will involve a group of speakers talking about stories they have about the theme of lost and found.
Activities
1. Main Talks 3 minutes max per person.
2. Favourite things
People will be asked to bring in their favourite things. These objects will be photographed with the owner, and a small drawing will be drawn by a popperbox member as a gift to the participant. Photos/drawings will be scanned to be included in our zine. There will also be opportunities for people to write, dictate or draw as a direct response to this topic.
3. Colour survey
Participants will be supplied with a wide range of coloured textas and pencils to colour in pre-set patterns. This simple exercise will give us an ideas of the colours people are drawn to.
4. Rorscharch Art literacy test
A survey of the community to determine the type of artworks the community responds to. We will be asking people one-on-one what kind of art they prefer, given two flash board options in which they will be asked to pick one over the other.
