Art was never like that.....

.....when I was at School.
School Art, and learning through creative real life experiences are new concepts to many of us that suffered through the very poor 1960s-70s educational system, but now schools are creating artworks that in some cases are difficult to differentiate from professional work
If you have a few minutes over the next couple of week, take a look at the exhibition "upstairs" (or by lift) in the Tenbury Wells library.

There is a comprehensive display of artwork created by local schools with the help of Nancy Evans, the Teme Valley Artist in Residence.

Some lovely imagery here.

So good that Art and mark-making is integral to the curriculum - really allows kids to experiment and explore and often acts as a cathartic thing too in different scenarios.

I'm luvvin' the mud oven image too would love to make one meself - apparently they make amazing pizzas :-)
