Art in Schools & Communities
Jessica has worked as artist-in residence with many schools across East Anglia, across all Key stage group settings.
Projects include drawing, sculpture, clay and plaster work and group recycling art projects.
Jessica has originated Creative Partnership projects in collaboration with teaching staff at both primary and secondary level, including those with special educational needs, facilitating cross-curricular projects that enrich the learning process and clearly evidence the importance of a creative process.
These projects have included Professional Development training for educationalists at all levels, as well as collaborations with other artists.

'Swimmers'
One of many 'Swimmers' in a collaborative picture at Hevingham Primary School.
Jessica lead the school in guided, step-by-step whole-class groups through the process of drawing, cutting and collaging observed figures for a large swimming pool picture.
The drawings are mounted and suspended under layers of transparent tissue and cling film to add to the watery effect.
This was an enjoyable collaborative event, enabling all abilities to make their part of a very striking image, using very simple, achievable methods, brought together by Jessica.
