Our Creative Community: The Island: A Thinking Skills Workshop

By Natalie Deane

In the first post of the ‘Our Creative Community‘ project series, Natalie Deane, head of art at Battyeford Primary School shares the first stage of a pupil directed project, run as a series of after school sessions. The aim of this project is to get pupils to engage with their local area and the artists who live on their streets, to self-direct their own project.
