The Arts Society's Trails Of
Discovery
|
|
This is the umbrella term for
the different types of trails
that members create:
Trails For Children
These are aimed at children
between 8-12years of age. The
trail guides them around a place
of worship or historic building
looking at and asking questions
about art, artefacts,
architecture and history. There
is a corresponding answer sheet
provided for accompanying
adults. Our Children’s Trails
prompt young people to enjoy the
stories behind local landmarks.
It is wonderful to see their
curiosity come to light.
Town Trails
The aim of these trails is to
encourage children to explore an
area looking at art,
architecture and local history,
broadening their knowledge and
providing an enjoyable
experience. This type of trail
does not have an answer sheet as
all the answers can be found by
looking at information en route.
Memory Trails
These trails are aimed at anyone
living with memory loss, and
have been created with the help
of psychiatric professionals.
The trails lead participants and
their carer around a building
within a sensory framework,
looking at and touching objects,
evoking memories and prompting
conversation.
We would love to see more
participants in this creative,
sociable activity. The trails
are fun and informative to
produce, and require only a
couple of months’ commitment.
If any members would like to
know more, or if they know a of
