It has been an incredible experience both as an Artist and an Educator to have guided the Year 3 class at St Martin’s Primary School through a wonderful Artistic journey. An inspiring group of children with a fantastic class teacher, Mrs Brown.
Our journey began with a visit to Plemont beach where we observed and discussed coastal erosion as part of their Geography learning and then we created a giant Land Art of beach views the children saw.
We documented our Artist journey in our sketchbooks, learning new Artistic techniques, skills and vocabulary.
The children created stunning combination paintings incorporating their new learnt skills which we mounted as beautiful wall hangings.
The children made Art Exhibition invitations and proudly invited their families to the children’s very own Art Exhibition.
I am so proud of the children, who not only had fun but were truly engaged through this entire process.
Art is powerful way of learning and a vital piece of the national curriculum that must never be forgotten.

Wow – what an exciting project! I loved looking at the development of the artists’ work from the beach visit, trying out skills and ideas in their sketch books to a beautifully presented exhibition. An amazing learning opportunity and memories that will last a lifetime.
Thanks, Lou. It really has been a wonderful experience for all involved.
