I have been lucky enough to work with John Donne Primary School in Peckham. They let me loose on their playground!. With the pupils help, through a seriese of workshops we painted 4 murals and transformed their playground. see below for more details.
Reception and Year 1 cultural bird Mural boards
Accademic Year 2024-2025
Reception
The children used their imagination to add crazy colours to birds. The birds were chosen because they represent the cultural diversity of the school.
Year 1
Year 1 created collage flowers. They were encouraged to have fun creating the most interesting flowers they could.
I have taken these 2 elements and blended them together to create 10 flowery bird designs. the children are helping me paint them.
Year 2 and 3 Animal Habitat Mural
Accademic Year 2024-2025
For Year 2 and 3 I focused the workshop on Animals and their habitats. We drew animals looking at shape and form, then went on to create fun cardboard tube anamals wuth Rothko inspired habitats to live in.
The mural will be a selection of animals across their habitats. I needed a few animal drawing from the children to enlarge onto the mural and they didnt let me down, you will see in the photos here John Donne has some really creative little people.
Year 4 and 5 Peckham Architecture Mural
Accademic Year 2024-2025
Year 4 and 5 created some fabulous drawings and collages of buildings in Peckham before turning these into mural designs. I took the most striking of these images and translated them into this colourful mural. I intergrated the benches and planters for maximum effect.
Whole school mural
Accademic Year 2024-2025
For this mural the whole school took part. Every member of the school from Nursary pupils and teachersk to Kitchen and office staff. Everyone painted a brick.
