ACE art created by Caxton Youth

mMembers of Caxton Youth Organisation, our charity partner, have created some fabulous pieces of artwork featuring Landsec buildings, which now take pride of place in the meeting room at the Aspire Centre of Excellence (ACE). The images were worked on over several weeks by members of the charity’s youth club in Pimlico. Supplied with digital images of a number of Landsec properties, the young people were able to choose which ones they wanted to feature and how to create their artwork. Two members of staff at Caxton Youth acted as facilitators for the project, demonstrating various techniques to the young people including collage, painting and digital media. Some members worked on their artwork alone, while others collaborated on a large canvas. Others used computer software to edit the images for their pieces.
Eliane Edmond, Head of Programmes at Caxton Youth Organisation, says it was a really fun project and everyone was pleased with the results. “I really like how they are such different interpretations,” says Eliane, “and each member’s personality is expressed in their art.” Thank you to the young people at Caxton for their wonderful creations. Many thanks also to the team at NJC for transporting the artworks safely from the Pimlico club to ACE at One New Change and to the staff from NG Bailey who displayed the artwork in our meeting room.
