Visit To Claremont School - June 2010
Wednesday 30th June '10
As part of Big Art Week, Barnet (London) worked with us in the East Finchley Open to place artists from our group into local schools.
I went to Claremont Primary and spent a very enjoyable afternoon working with 20 Year 3 (3A) children (and a couple of Year 5 boys).
I had given the Art Coordinator - Jennifer Taylor - some prep work to do, getting the children to photograph their favourite place around the school. Jennifer then scaled these photos up to A3 on a photocopier (B&W).
We worked together with the theme of "Journey Memory" - each of the children made a picture of their journey into school.
I enjoyed the visit and Jennifer will be putting my name forward as a possible mural organiser for a wall in their playground.
I addded some images to my gallery here, so she can see some of themural work I've done before.

Adam Justice-Mills
uses paint, photos and pixels, creating abstract layered pictures,
concentrating on recalled movement, structure and colour. Adam's earlier
works in both drawing and photography were highly figurative landscapes
and portraits.
Over time, they became more interesting to him as he
forgot their context but remembered the emotional significance he
attaches to them. What interests him about memories is
how they work - what triggers recollection and association of ideas, how
much can we remember from a tiny stimulus, why do we remember some
things and not others, what makes some things important to remember.
His "memory" drawing series are pen & pastel on
paper. They are his exploration of
how we form and recall an impression of something or someone, how their
significance can be undiminished despite the forgetting of details. The
relationship between the artist's memory and the subject is brought out
through the repetition of a drawn line, based on a recalled pose or
performance.
Adam has recently taken his interest in memory and
applied it to his photographic work. He has created two series of "Visual Poems", inspired by people's favourite places or important objects.
