Wow wow wow!
We are loving these Camille Roulin portraits created by patients at West Park Hospital NRU in the style of #vangogh - using thick acrylic in an #impasto style. Our oldest artist is 92 and they've made a wonderfully delicate portrait. The power of art to connect is a real thing.
We had a fabulous October Half Term activity with young people at Compton Care today.
They made some brilliant 3D rocket firework models and made lovely night time waterside fireworks drawings - as well learning some basic BSL with Gary our Deaf tutor.

Our Deaf tutor Gary delivered some more introductory BSL (British Sign Language) at West Park Hospital NRU (Neuro Rehabilitation Unit) this week.
He started by recapping on previous sessions and then gently introduced some new vocabulary, for example days of the week and greetings. ππ»π€π»
Week 1 of a two week painting session at West Park Hospital, looking at the impasto style of Van Gogh. Participants have started their portraits of Camille Roulin and we think they look fab, what do you think? π¨π¨πΌβπ¨πΌοΈ
