Whole School Arts Week Project
As Arts week commences with the Arts Week open evening, today 1st April. 'All For One and One for All’, is the theme for this year’s Arts Week, a theme that will be fully embraced by all 630 boys as they complete another Whole School Project during this week. Part of this whole school project will involve the boys drawing self-portraits.
We would like to share a little more about how this very special project as part of Arts Week with you is created. This very special project reinforces one of our most important core values in Willow Park Junior School, a strong sense of community. The project with the help of the boys participating by drawing their self-portrait has been brought to life by Claudette Burke and well known local artist Steve Bradbury.
All of the self-portraits of the boys will be collected together and all of the portraits will form one of the squares. This is saved in the mosaic in photoshop as a pattern. Which is then overlayed into the original reference photo which is loved by all in Willow Park, the Muddy knees painting.
Steve explains how the project will come to life in his YouTube video below:
