I have just downloaded Magdalena’s material. It provides such varied activities to a topic which is close to our students’ hearts and one of the best ways for them to express their thoughts and feelings. Thank you and greetings from Portugal.

I think another street artist who you can add to people to look at is eL Seed, who makes beautiful calligraphic murals across buildings: https://www.ted.com/talks/el_seed_a_project_of_peace_painted_across_50_buildings

I truly loved reading about your experience as an artist in residence at IATEFL, I’d have loved to be one of the participants! I agree that silence needs a place in us, in our classrooms, and work places. And I’m sure art can help to achieve it. Thank you for sharing your views with us, Greetings from Argentina!

Hi Jade, I think the power of physically drawing our reactions to things can’t be underestimated. As you mentioned yourself in your IATEFL workshop, that twofold (or manifold if sound, space and group is included ) act of engaging visually through the eye and kinetically through the hand is the reason why I continue to draw and make visual work with my hands. I’ve likened it to the muscle memory of something being embedded there in my hands. Great stuff.

Great idea Kieran thanks for posting this. What a lot of action! Looking forward to seeing everyone!
