Multicultural Mural

Brand new Big Artist, Natalie Gore has spent the last eight days working at St. Stephen's School in Wolverhampton producing this wonderful mural.


She spent the first two days planning and designing with the children, then battled through last week's rain to transfer it onto their once-bare wall.

Each panel takes a different country as its subject, featuring that country's flag, skyline, and animal.

We think she's done an incredible job. Have a peek below and see for yourself.

¡El Gran Picasso Fracaso!

Not really. It was a great success.
Shortly before nipping over to the 2010 Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts I ran a one-day project at Shebbear College down in sunny Devon.

I had 24 Y9 pupils at my disposal, and put them to work recreating three of Pablo Picasso's masterpieces.




Weeping Woman (1937)

Girl Before a Mirror (1932)

Nude and Still Life (1931)


To break up the day we also did some Art Attack-style big art, out on the school field.



And had a go at GIANT pictionary.
