LOCWS International<\/strong> has established an ongoing educational Artist in Residency<\/strong> programme called Locws Schools<\/strong> that sees schools from the Swansea area take part in site-specific arts projects, Locws Schools is run in conjunction with Arts in Education, City and County of Swansea. The projects are run by artist David Marchant and use Locws International events as inspiration.<\/p>\n

Locws have been awarded the\u00a0Lord Mayor’s Ambassador Award<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for our outreach and education programmes.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Locws International events illustrate a broad range of contemporary artwork and the artworks are made in response to an aspect of Swansea’s culture, heritage, architecture or people. The artworks, created by international and Welsh artists using a variety of mediums, provide a unique educational opportunity and have inspired students to create some very interesting and insightful responses. Locws Schools starts with a guided tour of the artworks at which David Marchant presents some of the thinking behind the artworks and explains the ideas and processes of making the work. The second part of the project sees students create their own site specific art projects inspired by what they have seen and learned, presented at each school in Locws Schools exhibitions.<\/p>\n

Locws Schools is open to all schools in the Swansea area. For more information please contact Administrative Support for the Arts on 01792 562667 or email info@artacrossthecity.com<\/p>\n

Locws Schools: Guided Tours<\/strong>
\nThe guided tours provide an educational and exciting visual stimuli for students to respond to and to question. Artist David Marchant encourages students\u201a to make responses to the artworks while they attempt to unravel what the work means to themselves and what they think the artist is trying to achieve. Each work is carefully explained and the students are encouraged to think of how it could inpsire them to create a piece of their own work within their school or college environment. With the inspiration gained from the tours, the students are expected to produce a response to a particular artwork or artworks and during the course of the first day, students set themselves a brief which they research and investigate by day two of the project, David Marchant\u2019s visit to their school or college.<\/p>\n

Locws Schools: Artworks<\/strong>
\nOn day two of Locws Schools, David Marchant works closely with the students to create their own site-specific projects at their school. These artworks are then displayed within the school as well as being publicly displayed in the city centre during another Art Across The City event.<\/p>\n
