🍁🍃🍂 At the beginning of this year we started worki 🍁🍃🍂 At the beginning of this year we started working with a new primary school @cdps_southwark and we’re really impressed with the work that the students have produced so far with our mentor Frances! 👏 Years 3 to 6 students have been working on a print project inspired by leaves of the four seasons. They produced linear line drawings and cut outs of leaves, then transferred these into print using mono printing and styrofoam. We can’t wait to see the finished results! 🤩 #creativementorsfoundation #artinschools #neurodiversity #seasons #leaves🍁 #printmaking

They used natural forms and jewellery materials to create the images under a UV light. So far they’ve used paper and wood but have ideas to do lots of other surfaces so watch this space 👀🐚🥚 #creativementorsfoundation #cyanotype #jewelleryinschool #artinschool #neurodiversity
