Continuing our Meet the Team series, this time it’s the turn of Jasmine Popper, Arts Award Operations Coordinator and enthusiastic visual arts workshop facilitator.
In my role I particularly enjoy supporting advisers, and it's always great hearing about young people’s Arts Award journeys along the way too. Arts Award is delivered across such a variety of settings and art forms and as a result encourages many exciting projects.
I have always enjoyed engaging in various art forms, particularly visual arts but also writing and music. When I was at art college studying a foundation course, I loved going into the studio to work with other students, creating sculptures, installations or short films, and discussing new ideas. I then studied anthropology and completed a Masters degree in Material and Visual Culture, researching further about art and artefacts, as well as the effects of digital media on our lives today.
Before joining Trinity, I worked in the arts sector for a number of years at various galleries in London and also worked alongside other artists. I am very interested in arts education and have facilitated workshops including drawing and printing, for both young people and adults. I always enjoy exploring different ways of making and collaborating with other people, designing different workshop activities, and of course seeing what imaginative outcomes are created from them.
