THE ARTS SOCIETY SANDERSTEAD

YOUNG ARTS PROJECTS 2019 

Thanks to the generosity of members of The Arts Society, Sanderstead and a grant from the GLA we had Art Day projects in five schools in 2019.

  1. On Monday 1st April painter and teacher Ben Senior worked with two year 4 classes at St Peter’s Primary School.
  2. On Tuesday 30th April he was at Courtwood Primary School. In the afternoon he worked with a year 4 class and then after school he ran a twilight INSET session for staff.
  3. On Tuesday 7th May Ben will was at Applegarth Primary School working with the year 5 class.
  4. On Monday 20th May he was at The Quest running an Art Day for about fifteen year 9 students.
  5. Finally on Monday 10th June, Tuesday 11th June and Thursday 13th June he was once again at Riddlesdown Collegiate working with year 9 students who were be starting their GCSE course in September 2019. As always the students displayed what they had achieved in the two and a half day course in an exhibition for their parents, staff and members of the Arts Society, Sandertead. This year, however, there was also work on display from Courtwood and The Quest which are two other schools in the Riddlesdown Multi Academy Trust.  For photos taken at this project go to our photo gallery

 

Templates were used to get the designs underway.

 

 

 

 

 

SUPPORTING YOUNG ARTS

 

Sanderstead Arts Society applied for, and was awarded a community grant.  We want you to know how this was spent on furthering art in a local school, St Peter’s.  Young Arts is a fundamental and worthwhile aspect of The Arts Society.

The school has 6 core values: CARE RESPECT EMPATHY ASPIRATION TOLERANCE EQUALITY spelling the word CREATE – each core value has a set of sub-values. Every half term focus is on one of the core values and its sub-values. 

 

The idea for this project came  from Debbie Pullen at St Peter’s.  The values of the school underpinned the project.  Mandala is a Sanskrit word that means circle.  It is a symbolic representation of the universe   Mandala patterns reflect continuity and the theme was year 6, soon to leave for secondary school, engaging with year 5 - the rising year 6.

 

The children talked about whether the patterns and discussed the fact that they were on show both in the building and outside where other classes could see their work as well as parents and visitors.

 

The work was done using chalks that can be used on glass - it is not permanent but will remain for some while.  The purchase of these chalks was where the money was spent.  It reflects that art is all around, it is all encompassing in our lives.
