5x5x5 = Creativity

Over the last two years,  the children in the Reception and Year 1 Classes have been involved in the 5x5x5=Creativity Project where our resident artist, Edwina Bridgeman, works alongside the children to develop their creative ideas using different visual media including the outside environment as a stimulus. Using an initial provocation the children have been given a range of opportunities and encouraged to create their own artwork.  Their thoughts, feelings, ideas and work have been documented and used to initiate further exploration.  At the end of the last project there was an exhibition at the Michael Tippet Centre at Bath Spa University College.

Following the success of the original project, parents have formed an Arts Council (AFC – Arts Funding Committee) so as to raise money for further arts projects, including Artists in Residence and resources.  This means that the 5x5x5 Project can be extended to provide creative opportunities for children across the year groups.
