NCEP #inspired by Project
SMART Academies Trust
I was commissioned by the Newcastle Cultural Education Partnership to work with four primary schools within the SMART Academies Trust. The remit of the project was to encourage creative learning through sculpture and I developed a sequence of workshops for both staff and students to help further embed creativity at the the Trust. Each of the student-led projects culminated with a sculptural piece for permanent display within the schools which was produced by the children.

Cheviot Primary
Dream Tree
Ninety students from Years 3, 4 and 5 participated over three days to produce all the elements of the sculpture. In the process of doing so, they learned about artists such as Yoko Ono and Dale Chihuly as well as cultural rituals from around the world. The children were keen to use materials such as single use plastics to help keep these from landfill and the oceans. They worked with wire, acetate film and tissue paper, acrylic paints, collage and a lot of plastic bottles. Their tree reflects creativity and dreams and carries wishes and aspirations for greater equality, diversity and inclusion in the world.

Kingston Park Primary
Big Dreams
Inspired by dream catchers, 120 students from Years 3 and 4 produced a sequence of weavings and wish tags which were strung together to make a giant mobile. Suspended high above the school hall the mobile reminds the students to dream big!
