Children’s Arts Award Pilot Success
29 Jun 09
Last week, C&T and students from Blakedown Primary School in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, attended the Regional Arts Award Children’s Pilot celebration at Birmingham Town Hall to receive certificates for successful completion of the project.
A collaboration between Arts Award, Telford Culture Zone,Worcestershire County Council, Bright Space and Birmingham City Council, nearly 1000 children, aged 7-11, have grown their creativity through the arts. The largest single group in the Pilot, C&T worked with 40 students from two of our partner Primary schools.
Each child completed a creative portfolio of evidence about
- participating in arts events
- exploring the arts
- researching a favourite artist
- taking the lead
The standard of work the children produced was exceptional and some of it will be used by the Pilot team as part of a national case study.
Children who participated in the project will move onto the bronze arts award at secondary school. The project has clearly helped the children build confidence in their own creative ideas, learn new skills and become independent, ambitious, cultural learners.
