Earth, Art and Music Project. 2nd Apr 2025
70 images

This half term, Year 1 have had the fantastic opportunity to work with Artworx on the Earth, Art and Music Project. In an increasingly digital world dominated by screens and technology, the Earth, Art and Music Project has inspired children to get out into nature, learning new visual art skills, ‘natural art’ and music. It has taught children about the importance of recycling and looking after the environment, and used this learning to create artwork from natural materials gathered from the environment and also recycled materials that would have otherwise been discarded.
