Art of Life design and facilitate a wide range of creative arts projects in schools, colleges, youth clubs, alcohol and drug treatment centres and prisons. All of the projects incorporate creative arts forms such as creative writing, music production, digital film-making/editing, drama, media and journalism, digital and digital photography, art, sculpture, graphic design, t-shirt design and printing, magazine and newspaper design.
Through the projects participants are able to express themselves in unique ways using the creative arts as a tool. They are provided with the tools, the platform and the space to explore a wide range of issues and document their thoughts, feelings and experiences using the materials, resources and equipment provided.
Art of Life's projects are like a creative and symbolic journey of discovery, experimentation, exploration and fun. The whole process is an exciting blend of skill building, self-development, support, inspiration, entertainment and expression. The outcome of the project is one that reflects the diverse interests, abilities, experiences and skills of the people involved.
