The Labyrinth is: a single pathway, unicursal, that winds inextricably towards its centre. As opposed to the maze which is: a network of interconnecting passages designed for trickery and deception.

Images from workshops run as part of the West Sussex Able pupil programme.

The 1st known labyrinth symbol called the classical labyrinth has 7 concentric pathways surrounding the central goal, and is found dating from prehistory around 4000 years ago around the shorelines of the mediteranean sea and on Atlantic seaboard of the Iberian peninsular, sometimes called the 'seed pattern'

"I liked it best because when we went out side and got into groups of 3 we made art out of twigs, grass, leaves and feathers. I made some new friends as well. I had so much fun."

"The imagination is...the sun of man...it irradiates the earth, which is man...The whole heaven, indeed, is nothing but an imagination...even as (man) imagines himself to be, such he is, and he is also that which he imagines."

-Paracelsus

think and
look
at art in a
different way.”
