Art Careers Event Week

With temperatures outside soaring, pupils at Chingford C of E took time out from their normal routine this week to indulge themselves in artistic pursuits including street art, architectural design, puppet making, movie animation, graphic design and makeup / special effects. 

To help them on their way, the pupils met up with a number of local artists during the week who either talked to the children in person or online about the careers as well as helping them with their art work.

Year 6 pupil Liam. who was part of a zoom meeting with a make up artist, was excited to take some scary photographs. 'The guy who talked to us has done make-up and prosthetics for tv and movies.' he declared excitedly.

Year 5 pupil, Jah Kai, was just as enthusiastic commenting, 'I really enjoyed working with the street artist decorating the outside classroom wall with graffiti. I learnt about a guy called Banksy who makes millions doing it.'

A big thank you to Miss Greenberg who organised the event.
