Back in January we worked on an exciting creative project with 12 pupils from Bridgelea school in Withington. The children were on an artistic quest to become arts experts and gain their Explore Arts Award. Armed with their arts expert kits (including sketchbooks, colouring pens and special Z-arts badges) they took part in a whole host of different art forms including puppetry, spoken word, drumming, clay OK and technical theatre amongst others. The children met and interviewed professional artists along the way for Z-TV and created their own art work that was displayed in an exhibition at Withington Library. We documented each stage of the project on a blog, just click on the link below to scroll through and see what they got up to…
