M2 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
THE PROJECT
M2 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAMME FOR CHILDREN 2016-2018
M2 AIR was an Artist In Residence programme, designed for children and delivered by Social making artists; Megan Clark-Bagnall & Ali Brown
Acting as Sous Artists Megan & Ali supported each young artist to respond to a brief, explore ideas, find their vision and create artworks to share with their community. Collaborating with young artists aged between 7-11 years, each child was treated an equal artist. They responded to a brief, signed a contract and worked to their own schedule, doing everything it takes to create their vision.
Ali & Megan still believe as artists it’s our job to see the world from a different perspective and point to what we see. Children see the world from a different perspective. They are also the future.
Children are people and people are powerful.
FEEDBACK
“this is completely different to anything I would have thought about doing. The private view was scary but good. I was sad it was over but happy with what I achieved!”
Jimmy - Age 12
“I think I have learnt what it is like to be an artist, I’ve learnt that you have to think outside of the box (and that anything is possible if you use enough gaffa tape!!)”
