WORKSHOPS
Through a series of creative workshops with the nursery children, we focused on the life of birds and their habitat. We teamed up with the RSPB who gave us a real incite into birdlife. This lead to creative nest building, constructing birds from leaves, pattern making, paint squidging, mark making and scribbling.
The fantastic artwork created informed the final design. A montage of imagery was reproduced digitally and applied in relief. Seagulls Nursery now had a welcoming art piece with impact for the main entrance area.
