The works:

​

Gnomus (The Gnome)

Artwork created by Mencap and Gateway service users

Working with artist Annie Beech

The artist has the pleasure of working with two talented art groups, teachers, support workers and volunteers who came together, with an open mind, for two Friday morning sessions. They generously shared their skills and ideas working hard to create their beautiful abstract painting inspired by the grand movement of the piece.

Ballet of Unhatched Chicks

Artwork created by St Patricks School students

The artist was greeted with much enthusiasm by a lively bunch of year 3 and 4 pupils who, with good support from their class teacher, were able to share what the music brought to their imaginations and also work well together to create a colourful background.

Samuel Goldenberf & Schmuyle

Artwork created by Burton St Foundation service users

Working with artist Annie Beech

This piece was also created for an exhibition. The exhibition was displaying works made by clients with learning difficulties alongside works of art from people with dementia from the Alzheimer’s Society. There was a wide variety of ages and abilities who attended the workshop, so this work reflects the diversity and people’s different relationships with the music they heard.

Bydlo (Cattle)

Artwork created by Watercliffe Meadow Primary School pupils

Working with artist Laura Page

The group wanted to reflect the dark moodiness and the progression of the piece with the background which is dark but getting brighter at the top like a sunrise. They took the cattle and put

it on the cart so they could pull it along. They have each designed a person to represent themselves and the things they love.

Il Vecchio Castello (The Old Castle)

Artwork created by Newton Croft Sheltered Housing Scheme residents

Inspired by the darkness of the composition, we chose to apply a moody colour palette with a bird motif, representing the flight and the journey of the music.

Tuileries (Children’s quarrels after games)

The Bogatyr Gates

By listening to the pieces of music the group interpreted specific moments or sounds into marks and colours that seemed representative. As a group, certain marks were the selected and pieced together, colour choices were edited to create more harmony and some printed sections were overlaid.
