As part of their celebrations of International Day of People with Disability, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre invited Imagine Me to hold a series of workshops.
For this series of workshops, we decided to alter our regular workshop process (used for previous multi-day workshops) to suit the limited time frame and make it more accessible to people with a range of different abilities. Using the Ipad instead of the computer provided a direct relationship with the drawing surface that is more accommodating for people with acquired brain injury. Working directly on the surface of the image with digital drawing tools and the easy access to the power of 'undo', participants gained confidence as they experimented and explored in the virtual process.
This process worked really well, especially for those with intellectual disabilities who may find too complex those aspects of image manipulation with Photoshop which we teach in our other workshops.

The workshops were a big success, with lots of people turning up to get involved. The participants were really enthusiastic and a lot of fun to work with, and some participants surprised even their carers with how adept they were at creating through this process!
