LEA Initiated Residencies Residencies 2009 Fairytale Project 2009 A new Fairy Tale Project has been planned for 2009 using four more schools (three from Swansea and one from Neath Port Talbot) with the story tellers relating a new set of fairy tales and Maria Hayes will again be the artist. This project will build on what has already been achieved and will take place in early June.
Locws4 Schools In April and May 2009 Locws International stages the third city-wide arts event Locws International 4: Art Across the City, that sees International and UK-based artists create new temporary site-specific artworks in prominent locations across the city. The previous events Locws1 (2000), Locws2 (2002), Locws3 (2007) received national acclaim. Thanks to The Arts Council of Wales lottery funds secured by the Local Authority an exciting two-day Artist in Residence taster project linked to Locws International 4 is being offered to KS3/4 students during the Summer Term 2009.The residency will provide an opportunity for young people to have an experience of working with an artist, sharing the art of others and collecting ideas and information to inspire and develop their own work. Children from Penyrheol Primary, Penyrheol Comprehensive, Bishop Gore Comprehensive, Daniel James Community School and Tre Hafod Child and Family Clinic will be working with artist David Marchant during the Summer term, 2009.
The Josef Herman Award ‘09 This year children from five counties will take part in the Josef Herman Award for Schools 2009. Viv Rhule is to be the Award artist and the children will visit an exhibition at the Rhondda Heritage Park that will include Josef Herman drawings, shown with work from contemporary Welsh artists. The children will once again visit Ystradgynlais and will then work in school for two days with the artist. Nearly fifty Swansea schools applied to be the 2009 award school and the winning school, Gwyrosydd Primary was drawn out of the hat by Arts Development Officer, Robin Hall.
Leap – Transition New Media Project Work in Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr and its feeder primary schools is underway. This will be the first Welsh Medium group to complete a Leap transition project and Year 6 will be using it as part of their transition in the summer term. A teacher is to be seconded to monitor and support the use of the transition resource in the partner primaries and the four comprehensive schools. Comprehensive schools and their partner primaries that have completed LeAP projects to date are: Pontarddulais Click here to view screen shots from the LeAP CD ROM
Out There – Foundation Phase Built Environment Project A training Day with Eileen Adams was held on the 26th June, 2008 at the Clydach Education Centre. This followed on from a successful teacher-led project in 2007/08. The course was well attended and was a mixture of theory and practical activities. Four teachers from the pevious year's course gave an input where they were able to share aspects of their practice. The teachers who attended were invited to create ‘Out There’ projects back at school with their own class. As before they were provided with a starter pack of materials and a series of after school meetings has support and monitored progress. Four teachers involved in last year’s project have secured funding to develop a resource for the National Grid for Learning based upon the work developed during the ‘Out There Project’. The work has begun and will be completed by June.

Residencies 2008 "No Ordinary Cupboard" - Children's Anthology Locws Schools There was a Locws Schools exhibition at the National Waterfront Museum from the 7th February to 8th March. The exhibition was opened on Wednesday 11th February and included drawings, photographs, sculptures and videos made by pupils from Ysgol Gyfun Bryntawe, Daniel James Community School and Parklands Primary in response to Locws artwork shown as part of last October’s Swansea Festival. It was opened by Carolyn Davies who spoke to an audience that included parents, young people, teachers, artists, press and representatives of the Arts Council Wales. A letter of appreciation was received from Claire Middleton from Daniel James Community School who commented that after being involved in the Locws projects several pupils have been encouraged to consider art college and careers in Art and Design and some have secured work experience with designers. There was also an extremely favourable response from YGG Bryntawe where all the pupils who took part are now taking Art and Design GCSE.
