Spirals and Sparkles: our School Art Festival shines bright
Published on: 11/07/24
Every year, The Children's Trust School transforms into a vibrant hub of creativity and innovation for its annual art festival. The 2024 event, themed 'Spirals and Sparkles,' was a magical and enchanting display that captivated children, parents, and art enthusiasts alike.
As attendees approached the school, they were greeted by a whimsical talking caterpillar, made from colourful helmets and setting a delightful tone for the day ahead.
The school ensured every child, regardless of ability, could participate and express their creativity. Pouring art stations allowed children to create abstract pieces by tipping vibrant paints onto canvases. The spinning table art meant children could watch their creations transform into stunning works of art.
Adding to the hands-on experiences, children had the chance to make their own lava lamps. This activity combined art with a bit of science, as the children watched the colours, glitter and bubbles in their custom-made lamps. It was a delightful blend of creativity and curiosity, sparking wonder in every participant.
The sensory glow-in-the-dark room was another crowd favourite. The room provided a multi-sensory experience that was both relaxing and stimulating with ultraviolet paints and neon glow sticks. It was a haven for children to explore and express themselves in a truly unique environment.
Beyond visual arts, the festival celebrated performing arts with drama, music, and drumming sessions. The music sessions, filled with rhythmic drumming, created a communal space where children could express themselves through sound and movement.
The Children's Trust School Art Festival 2024 was a resounding success, bringing everyone together in celebration of creativity, inclusivity, and joy.
