A compelling week to be working on topics of acceptance, respect and inclusion, as it coincided with the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities and Disability History Month. Our creatives took the challenge on and made some incredible artworks after much thought and discussion within our group, an emotive evening. Please take time to browse the gallery this week. There are several varying styles, interpretations and also our some of our creatives produced pictures that were works in progress, so haven't been included in this blog article; however, they are nonetheless noteworthy and looking forward to them being finished.
Sarah - 'Walk a day in our shoes' - Accept & Respect Disability Inclusion, a different angle of taking a step away and considering a stance from whichever 'shoes' someone else wears, metaphorically speaking, they may not have shoes depending on their circumstances, limb differences and life challenges. Original concept, created using graphite and watercolour paints.
Donna - A striking picture of the world showing acceptance of disabled people, drawn and coloured by Donna, with fantastic symbology. Created using graphite and coloured pens.
Noor - A fantastic first drawing of a powered wheelchair, great energy in this as it's a tricky one to draw, always looking like you've achieved with a smile on your face, love your enthusiasm. Coloured pencils were used to create this.
Mandy - Awesomely detailed work representing the difference hearing aids have made to persons who have hearing impairments by adding sounds to their world of silence. This is a fantastic work in graphite and coloured pencils.
Andy - This is an excellent poster that combines the well-known hidden disability sunflower logo with some of the symbols that are used to show disabilities that are hidden. Interestingly, Andy said that his artwork was inspired by a recent visit to an airport while he was travelling. Created using watercolour paints and soft pastels.
Phil - A huge story behind this, and a look into the life behind how a support team goes a long way into supporting someone in the community, the impact they have and how care looks very different. A great piece of digital artwork created with the Pawmics app by Phil.
So much energy and thought went into these works; others in our art group were also working on their pieces, to be completed, watch this space... please share a comment and a like, it's always good to know your thoughts.
