Artforms - The West Park Centre

ArtForms is the music and arts team within Children's Services at Leeds
City Council. It is based at the West Park Centre, on Spen Lane (near
Headingley), Leeds.

On a visit to Artforms, Mrs. Dale thought some of our artwork would
brighten up their walls!
Here it is…………..







At last we have been able to exhibit the three Reception Artclub 2011
paintings together!

This wall is six and a half metres long and is one of the meeting rooms up
there. The books “Why is the Sky Blue?” “Rumble in the Jungle”, and
“A-Z of Dinosaurs" were the visual inspiration behind the paintings.
Each pupil drew a picture about the story and the best bits from all the
drawings were used to design the finished pieces.
The masks were made by pupils in the Reception class as part of the Jungle topic.






In one of the other meeting rooms we have displayed “Animals on Ice”
This painting was created by the Key Stage 1 Artclub 2011. It is an imaginary
world of animals that live on ice – a combination of the North and South
Pole.
The children painted the background with brushes and sponges and added
details by sticking fabrics, papers and sequins.
At the time this was the largest painting the Artclub had attempted and
this is the first time it has been on display. We hope you enjoy it!


As soon as you enter the building you see the display of “The Very Hungry
Caterpillar made by KS1 to celebrate Harvest Festival which took place at
Robin Hood Primary School.
Approximately 2000 people will pass this display a week!
