| Project Overview |
Working with year 2 and year 3 pupils I delivering a curriculum linked arts-based project. The workshops involved the children in a kite based project that touched on science, art & design, design & technology, geography and culture. |
| Project Details |
The project involved: |
| |
Learning about the science behind how kites fly |
| |
Learning about kite designs from countries around the world |
| |
Learning how to draw, design and makeg their own individual kites |
| |
Learn to put the theory into practise at a kite flying day. |
| |
The children's designs were transposed onto kite-shaped boards and installated within the school grounds of both schools as outdoor sculpture. This has created a visual link between the two schools and will help to create an easier transition when pupils move between the two schools. |
