Arts Council
Welcome to our Arts Council page. We are a group of Art enthusiasts, driving our passion through school! Every year we visit an exhibition and come back to Bretherton with an exciting project in mind for inspiring our peers.
Our 2021/2022 Arts Council visited the immersive Van Gogh experience at Media City and recreated the sunflower room in our hall with over 200 artificial sunflowers and mirrors. We added music and sweet scents to offer a full 4D sensory experience.
Our 2022/2023 Arts Council attended the Art of Banksy exhibition in Salford and commissioned a Banksy of our own created by every pupil in our playground. Banksy is a favourite of the Arts Council for using art to raise awareness of injustice and discrimination in the world. See our blog for more information.
This year's Arts Council are looking to visit the Lowry in Manchester in January 2024 to delve deeper into an artist that Class 3 have been studying this term. Watch this space for our new and exciting interactive experience!
Our Arts Councillors of 2023/2024 year are :
Grace Foster |
My name is Grace Foster and I am in Year 6. My favourite artist is James Rizzi because he uses bold colours and his media is paint, which is my preferred media too. I love how he makes buildings look happpy or sad! |
