Greenfield Arts are excited to be working with Bewick Crescent Doctors Surgery in Newton Aycliffe to create a new art work which will be displayed in their waiting room, to improve the surgery environment and promote positive well-being.
This is a great opportunity for the students of Greenfield Community College to explore their own creativity to aid health and well-being.
So far students have been working with artist Vicky Holbrough to explore smart materials, which have ever changing properties.
They are also investigating how light can affect them and how their ideas can be displayed successfully. They are particularly interested in how materials can change their state whilst on display, therefore interacting with the patients and changing people’s perceptions.
This is really exciting for the students who are keen to investigate, play with materials and experiment, developing their discussion and team work skills.
The art work will go on display early this year, after discussions with their patient group who will give the patients perspective.
A project where arts and science really come together to make people feel good. Be sure to keep an eye out for its launch!
