Starting
in 2005 with a year long pilot programme at Aldeburgh Primary School in
Suffolk, the Eastfeast project continues to evolve, in partnership with
a growing number of schools in East Anglia, through a sequence of
linked but independent creative learning programmes.
Eastfeast
offers a model for artist-teacher partnership work based on children
working an allotment. Culminating in a celebratory feast for the local
community, the artists enable the children to express their thoughts
and experiences in a range of art forms through the growing cycle of
seasons.
Joint professional development of teachers, artists and other creative practitioners, eg gardeners, is a key characteristic.
