Small Worlds: Little Things Make a Big difference
On Friday 23rd June, Milford-on-Sea Primary School had a whole school Art Day as part of the Hampshire Art Team's Climate Unity Project.
The theme of the day was 'Small Worlds: Little things Make a Big Difference’ and it linked perfectly with our ongoing global learning linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
To start the day, we had a Worship where we celebrated the awe and wonder of the natural world, linked to God’s creation, and then we listened to important messages about the environment and climate change from David Attenborough.
Everyone then had a go at some doodle art, taking inspiration from the work of Kev Munday. In groups, the children doodled all of their favourite things about the natural world and then added key words like ‘breath-taking’, ‘love’ and ‘colourful’.
Each child then designed and created their own ‘small world’, using a mixture of different mediums like watercolours, acrylic paint, digital images and coloured pencils. The youngest children thought about their favourite places and why they should be protected and the older children thought about climate change and environmental issues adding important messages to their work. Year 5/6 used graffiti style text to add their words and messages. Each class then created a set of globes, including everyone’s individual piece of art.
At the end of the day, we labelled and hung all 33 globes across our school hall and invited families and children to come and see the work as a whole installation.
After that, we transported our installation to All Saints' Church to be displayed over Half Term and for their Creation Sunday Youth Worship on Sunday 25th May. The work will then travel to Winchester School of Art to be displayed over the summer as part of a huge exhibition alongside work from other Hampshire schools.
The children have worked incredibly hard to showcase their art skills, but also to share their messages linked to climate change and protecting our planet and it was wonderful to see all 317 children contributing their own individual artwork to the project.
