“We were very lucky to have Leah as a virtual guest during our Year 10 Art class. The students have been studying Street Art and they are about to begin making their own designs. They loved hearing from a real street artist, and learning spray painting techniques. Soon they will try some of these in their own work. Hearing about Leah’s art making process has given my year 10’s lots of inspiration! Thank you so much Leah!”
“Our Year 11 Art students are currently studying ways Street Art can create ‘change’. Leah’s visit included an interactive talk about her practice, ethics, challenges and personal art style. Her engaging and open approach encouraged students to ask questions and gain a strong understanding of the topic. Leah led the students through practical exercises with aerosol paint to create gradients, lines, drips and simple stencils. The students loved every second and are motivated to keep creating in ways that can impact others.”
“Leah is absolute dream artist to host at a school. Her teaching background combined with her experience as a street artist puts her in a unique position that is rare to find with an artist facilitating workshops in school. She relates so well to students and is able to effectively tailor the content and delivery for the age group and specific group of students. Her the teaching knowledge helps the sessions run seamlessly as she is innately aware of what activities works and what doesn’t with different age groups. We were so lucky to host Leah at St Peter’s Woodlands to work with our Year 6s to create a permanent public artwork on an external fence at our school. Students brainstormed a concept for the artwork on the theme of community. Following this Leah collated their work, to create 3 potential concepts. Students voted for their favourite and learnt how to install the mural on a corrugated surface. The support that Leah gave me throughout the whole process was amazing. From ideas to give as prompts for the students, to tips about writing the grant to secure funding for the project. The whole experience was amazing for myself and the students. Thank you Leah!
