School creates new mosaics with help from Harrogate charity
Mosaics made by children at oatlands school.
Four new mosaics have been installed outside a school in Harrogate thanks to a partnership with a local charity.
Artizan's members have created the mosaics to highlight Oatlands Junior School's values of equality and diversity, curiosity, and safety.
They have been placed around the school, with a fourth mosaic outside the arts studio designed to inspire imagination, creativity and exploration.
The four artworks were created children from the school and members of Artizan together, which benefitted both groups.
Hannah Alderson, the school's art and design technology lead, said:
"This incredible project gave differently able mosaic artists the opportunity to become the trainer; showing children how to mosaic, which of course is a powerful situation for them both to experience.
"[It was] empowering for members of Artizan and a transformation of attitude for the children, seeing people with disabilities in a different light as confident and creative skilled artists."
