Hillside Bridge Health Care Centre

The murals in this health centre celebrate the diversity and connectivty of life on our planet.

The designs were conceived through looking closely at nature from a microscopic to a worldview, discovering how shapes are related in a variety of ways.

Artist Jo Knowles worked with children from Barkerend Primary School and Hillside Bridge Health Care Centre Public and Patient Involvement groups to develop the themes for the large Murals.

Thornbury Health Centre -"Circular Senses"

Artist Vic Buta Worked with local schools and community groups to to generate designs and artwork fopr this project.
Five circular artworks were produced each one 1 metre in diameter. Each piece reltes to one of the five senses.
Touch
Students at Laisterdyke Business and Enterprise College produced plaster casts and ceramic disks on the theme of touch and texture;creating textures and patterns on circles of clay.
Younger children from a KS&W Parent and Child pottery group contributed by using their hands to smear on muddy clay "slip" from which casts were later taken.

taste
Participants from Morton House Childrens Centre produced designs using circular sections of fruit and veg to make prints. They also made food to make edible collages (since consumed)!

Sound
Year 8 students at Laisterdyke Business and Enterprise College made their own visual music paintings and looked at patterns made by sound vibrations. Using a microphone and computer students generated visual representations of sound. Vic incorporated the wave patterns they produced into this circular painting.
