Becky Mann produced a Dot to Dot 0f the Bayeaux Tapestry as her contribution to the arts trail. Her paintings marked the way along a narrow path which runs parallel to the High Street and which leads to the local primary school, Battle and Langton. Becky worked as Artist-in Residence at the school producing two larger dot to dot pieces. The school children completed the dot to dot ... in rather faster time than Becky had envisaged!
When Becky had an idea for developing the monster colouring book which she has posted about earlier on this blog it was to her newly found contacts at Battle and Langton she turned. Again she worked with the school, interviewing schoolchildren to learn about 'their monster'. She will be returning soon with the colouring books and ideas for large monster stickers for their classroom display.
Becky is interested in working in schools more in the future. This work experience has not only built up experience but contacts and with a bit more resourcefulness will no doubt result in further projects.
