School and youth projects with the students, teachers and myself are developed with the view to achieving a more finely nuanced and informed understanding of how we might use the term ‘creative’ and thereby help with planning and evaluating creative activities in future projects.
From start to finish the projects are about different levels of creative cooperation between the students, the teachers / youth staff and myself. The students are encouraged to consider themselves as members of a creative team in which the artist has a role supported by the teachers / youth staff.
