Term 5 Art Skills Coverage

Hawley Projects- In June a group of our most Gifted and Talented Artists were selected to attend a tour and Gallery Workshop. The children met the Gallery Curator Juliette. Once the children had, had a tour of the various artworks they spent some time in the workshop to create art inspired by the artists.

"The featured artists - Brusk, El Pez, Fanakapan, Flog, Louis Michel, Martin Whatson, Nuno Viegas, Onur, Pez and Sandra Chevrier - have very diverse practices, from Urban to fine arts including contemporary and pop influences. Yet all have been gathered in Hawley Projects art space to share their own creative take on stories and places around Margate, paying tribute to our seaside town through beautiful original works. Visions - Connecting what we can see to different perspectives, as a bridge between reality and imagination. "
