Busy, Busy, Busy!

Wow its been a busy term. Thus the lack of time to report back on Artistic practices!
Loveart has this term been providing an art service at one local primary school. For one afternoon a week the school has run a 'university' for the children: Children are given a range of creative learning opportunities and subscribe to one for 1/2 a term.

Loveart provided a 1/2 term scheme of work for improving artistic skills and art history knowledge for a group of 30 children, ages 5-11, working together. The university which has now run for a term provides the school with professionals delivering key skills and teachers with ppa time.

Topics covered included: Surrealism, Pointillism, Pre-Raphaelites, Collage, Abstraction, Monoprinting and resulted in a large scale display work using all the children's work.

Monoprinting

All years bar one were involved with Loveart projects throughout w.b 10th July at Portswood Primary's Artsweek.

It was exciting to work with the children in their environmental area. Inspired by their surroundings they created a huge flower garden collage made up of 360 prints. The work was then displayed in an exhibition alongside other school arts projects that the children undertook during the week.

Thanks to the Arts co-ordinator, management team and all staff for making Loveart feel so welcome!
