Disability Peer Support & Connections -- Music Museum Outreach

Image
Making and Creating Children need space to grow their imaginations, regulate their emotions, and to interact socially. We use a family and community approach in Music Museum Outreach through the GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums). Every child is an Artist  - Pablo Picasso - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ Pablo Picasso recognised that, ‘Every Child is an Artist, but the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.’ John Lennon said, 'Every child is an artist until he's told he's not an artist.' We provide opportunities for active exploration and building competence in creative arts activities.  An example of exemplary practice to showcase children's artwork is the  Dr Barbara Piscitelli's Art Archive at the State Library of Queensland. Also, the Jarjums Life Museum  was an active learning project which showcased children's art with support from Inala Wangarra and the Minjerribah Museum on North Stradbroke Islan...

Can bloogle resonators enhance representation of time, space, and culture through the Person-Environment-Occupation Model? Author:   Sandra Kirkwood B.Music, B.Occ.Thy, M.Phil., Music Health Australia. Workshop Presentation : AUC CreateWorld Digital Arts Conference, 12-13 February 2014 Abstract: The Person-Environment-Occupation Model (P-E-O) has been a catalyst for numerous applications to enhance peoples’ occupational performance. The P-E-O model was developed by Canadian occupational therapists, Mary Law and colleagues in 1996 as a transactive approach to occupational performance. Research indicates the usefulness of the P-E-O model for representing change over time at identified points across peoples’ lifespan.   However, this paper considers whether the P-E-O Model could be represented in an alternate way, through acoustic sonification with bloogle resonators.   Methods of literature review and activity analysis are used to introduce the potential for son...
