On Friday 21st May a group of year 10 GCSE Graphics students went to St Marks Primary School to undertake a community beautification project. St Marks Primary School approached us, as part of the Design and Technology week, to ask if we were interested in undertaking a project to improve the environment of their infant play area. As this was an ideal chance for the students to work to a real life brief we were very happy to be involved and eagerly set about planning and preparing a mural for the area.
The Graphics students were split into pairs, each pair was given a panel of the fence to design a section of the mural based on the theme of ‘Mini Beasts’. The students were enthusiastic about the project and readily went about planning their layout. On the day we set off on foot to the primary school where we were greeted by an energetic group of infants. When they returned to class we set about drawing the designs onto the fence and then painting in the detail. They worked throughout the warm, sunny day to complete the mural by the deadline and the result was even better than we had anticipated a colourful array of mini beasts splashed across the fence with creative flair.
Thanks must go to Mrs Goulds who accompanied us on the day, her hard work and contribution is much appreciated.
