‘This valley has known many lives.
The Hills have echoed many cries.’
In early 2004, Townhill Community School won the
‘Josef Herman Foundation Award’
to work with Welsh artist
Keith Bayliss
.
This enabled the school, pupils and teachers to benefit, both from having the experience of working with a Welsh artist first hand, together with the opportunity to examine the work of the artist
Josef Herman
who spent many years living and painting in Wales.
Due to the success of the project and the positive responses from pupils, it was felt that these achievements should be celebrated and disseminated to others. Not only in the field of education, but for all who are interested in the ‘growing and developing’ stages of creativity related to producing satisfying artwork.
It was with this intention, that these ideas have been designed to give an insight into the various aspects of the project, together with any anecdotal remarks which were felt to be useful or pertinent to the reader.
