Local young people have a chance to take part in a two day urban art project in which they will learn and practice the techniques of street art, legally and creatively.
'The Journey Begins Here' course has been designed to help interested youngsters over 14 years old to make and use stencils, learn spray painting techniques, work with professionals and produce a landmark design for a site in Pitsea.
The project which is being run by Theatre Resource and Basildon Council, with support from the Community Safety Partnership, takes place at Pitsea Leisure Centre, Northlands Pavement, between 10.30am and 4pm on Wednesday and Saturday, 2nd. and 5th. April. Professional trainers will discuss with the youngsters what is acceptable and lawful in urban art, as well as guiding them towards creating a bright and interesting piece of public art which will engage the whole local community.
The final art work will go on display at a location at Pitsea Market where it will then be the turn of local residents to take part in a bit of constructive modern art criticism.
