Teresa Grimaldi : CreatAbility
CreatAbility Project (2005-2006)
CreatAbility project began in 2005 with Teresa Grimaldi and Claire Simpson running weekly visual arts sessions in nursery settings in West Sussex introducing children and early years practitioners to a wide variety of arts processes and materials.
The project continued on a larger scale in 2006 with a wider range of artists working together offering opportunities to develop visual arts, music and dance. Lead visual artists Teresa Grimaldi and Claire Simpson returned to the project however they were joined with visual artist Jane Chalk, musicians Sharon Quinn and Lou Bradbury and dance artists Amanda Drago and Natasha McKenzie.
As well as an eight week programme of workshops in nursery settings, the project offered great opportunities for collaborative working and led to the publication of a new book about creative learning for under fives; Creative Activities for the Early Years.
