Children's
Art Workshop
"St Roch’s Primary and Royston primary school both
participated in arts workshops organised by the Royston Road
Project. The Visual Art Workshops involved looking at the
history of some of the buildings within the area. Photos from
the old Garngad were used to draw from. The photographs were
a source of interest for the children who recognised some
of the buildings. The medium chosen for the children was Indian
ink and old fashioned ink nib pens. This seemed like a relevant
medium since this was the technique used to write and draw
in the past.
St Roch’s and Royston Primary are multicultural school’s
and some children in the class recognised this technique as
something still used in their native countries. The drawings
were analytically drawn with washes of ink and water to show
depth and interest. The children and teacher are really proud
of their drawings which are unlike any other art work in the
school and the finished mounted pictures were displayed in
Royston Library.
Well Done to both Schools!"
