On Islay, Mull, Tiree and Bute the Creative Arts in Schools Team (CAST) have

been holding two day workshops offering pupils the opportunity to work with

a musician and two visual artists.

The concept for the project is Œrecognising and celebrating potential

opportunities for our islands through harnessing tidal/wave energy.¹

The pupils reflected this concept by focussing throughout on experimental

application of modern technologies such as digital art and audio sequencing

to conventional art, crafts and music.

During the workshops CAST and the pupils were joined via glowmeets by a

marine tidal scientist from SAMS and a geo-poet. Elements of their talks

have been incorporated into the artwork and music by the pupils.

The outcome of the workshop has been pupil-led multimedia art work and

music.

Creativity has been at the heart of every step of this process.

The project has been funded by ŒScotland¹s Islands¹ and Argyll & Bute

Council
