During the workshop, students brainstormed themes, experimented with mediums, and learnt about the differences between gallery spaces and street art murals. Students enthusiastically cut, pasted, and painted colourful designs within their chosen theme.
Year 2 students created their theme “I Miss You and I’m So Excited To See You”, relating to COVID-19 restrictions on friends and family but also the restrictions it has caused to visit art galleries.
Year 6 students voted their favourite theme to be; “I see happy patterns in the water”.
With the impact on COVD-19, the Art Gallery have been very innovative and will have a Live FB / Instragram Event for the Launch on Friday Night at 6:30pm.
The children’s art work will be projected as digital images onto the Newmarch Gallery window.
