Oh this was sooo much fun! I worked with Louise Atkinson to make a shanty town with pupils from six primary schools in Leeds. Whinmoor, Crossgates, Seacroft Grange, Swarcliffe, and Grimes Dyke.
We gathered up all the things that were lying around our homes and local area that were not in use and created some beautiful artwork in the grounds of Temple Newsom. Below are some pictures of what we did.
We worked in teams of 3-5 and designed and built our own building.
There were lots of decisions to be made about shape, colour, decoration etc.
We all worked together to make it work.
We painted the outside and made curtains and chimneys.
This is how it looked when we put them all together - we even built a bridge!! And at the end of the day the whole town was recycled and made back into new card, paper and plastic for us to use again.
