Ashfield Spring Life

Abstract expressionist paintings by the children of Ashfield
We had a picnic in the library on Friday 10th October to celebrate the art works created by the children.
The project was coordinated by the Artist in Residence Cher Breeze and involved 5 preschools and a parents group 'Jump in Joeys' who created a series of abstract expressionit paintings reflecting Ashfield in the spring time.
Each of the 6 canvases was a communal work completed by many hands; this shared creative experience means that these works truly reflect the vibrancy and uniqueness of the Ashfield community through the eyes of children.
The works have been displayed in the Ashfield Library Children's Section, please drop in and see them.
