Our Year7 collaborative Bow Arts project is underway with students and artist braving the cold to draw outside, capturing textures, shapes and perspectives. Maisie Maris Dr Steven Berryman

Exploring #drawing with visiting Artist, Maisie What an exciting project this is for our #year7 students Bow Arts Maisie Maris

So pleased this Creative Bexley - Cultural Education Partnership project across four schools with Bow Arts is underway - and pleased nearly 1000 students in Bexley will be working with an artist this term. We’re thrilled in Odyssey MAT to be involved.

Bow Arts artist educators are working with 270 Yr 8 students Sarah Bonnell School to create their own textiles patch representing Sisterhood. The patches will be used to create class banners to celebrate the young people's creative interpretations of sisterhood. We love them! #IWD2022

Four schools across London Borough of Bexley benefited from our Creative Bexley - Cultural Education Partnership Bow Arts project m.youtube.com/watch?v=4g1Ri9… - that’s nearly 600 students! As well as their teachers working with artists.

Have you read our recent blog post? Young people in Bexley created a cultural map of their area with artist educators Tom Berry and Maisie Maris! Bexley is full of amazing cultural spaces and activities for young people to take part in bowarts.org/projects-stori…

As part of our Ancient Greek topic, Year 6's participated in an exciting and creative day designing friezes with artists from Bow Arts.

What do you get when you cross a class of budding little artists, texture rubbings, lighthouses and a little help from @bowarts? Some beautiful lighthouse collages of course!
