Adult Resource Centres

Art Space makes weekly visits to Gleneagles Adult Resource Centre’s art room where participants partaking in a programme including painting, clay modelling, drawing and collages as part of their daily timetable. Visitors to the art room look forward to their weekly class, contribute well in discussions and decision making and enthusiastically encourage each other in their work.

All projects are aimed at meeting individuals at their personal needs and those who have participated have benefited incredibly from a sense of achievement. We have worked with a wide variety of service users since opening , as well as completing a highly successful pilot study for Perth and Kinross Council.

Staff Training

For environmental education:

In 2005, artSPACE led a training session for Scottish Natural Heritage in their day of “Leading Edge” interpretation for environmental education staff. Surrounded by the beautiful landscapes, participants undertook sessions in simple ways of translating the environment. They were encouraged to look at the shapes surrounding them, using different materials such as ink, paint and rollers.

These sessions aimed to demonstrate easy ways to encourage children in educational settings to look at the landscape surrounding them. Participants enjoyed these sessions and overcame some of their own insecurities in perceiving their surroundings visually.
