Perspectives

Through colour, texture and imagination, the art students at the well-known Scotts Project Trust have transformed their vision of the outdoor world into beautiful artwork.

From recreating subjects such as spring meadows to coral reefs, nature has inspired their work in this exhibition. Come and see their vision!

Creating art is an immersive and therapeutic experience, a tactile and sensory process which encourages sharing and communication and helps with developing patience and dexterity. Art offers so much joy and self-expression to adults with learning disabilities and to us all.

Residents and day services users at Scotts enjoy regular art workshops to create multi-media and mixed media artworks including textiles, paint, textures, ceramics and papier mache. Just some of their talented output is on display here.

Alison, one of the artists, says: “I enjoy using the different techniques of art. I love that our work will be on display for the public to see. I like how we have done group projects together and made something as a team, as well as our own.”

Scotts Project Trust is a well‑established charity based in Tonbridge, Kent, dedicated to supporting adults with learning disabilities to realise their potential and live fulfilled, happy lives.
