Blyth Extended Services Newsletter - Northumberland Extended ...

Our recent project at Horton Grange Primary School
My name is Dorothy Lewis
and I am the Volunteer Co
— ordinator for the Blyth
Extended Services Partnership.
For a period of 6
weeks we facilitated a fantastic
art group in school on
Thursday afternoons.
For the first hour we worked
with a group of children and
for the second hour the parents
joined the children
school for a family art session.
Each week we looked
at Art from a different part
of the world or from different
artists and saw how art
comes in many different
forms! We then produced
artwork relating to that
country using a variety of
materials, and there have
been some real masterpieces!!
We have had the
expertise from Eddie Galvin
(a community artist) who
has been on hand to talk to
us about art from around
the world and show us that
we can all be artists.
Matthew, very proud of his work
What the parents thought of the project…….
“I got carried away
and thoroughly
enjoyed it”
“I thought I was rubbish
and didn’t want to show
myself up but I am so
glad I came!”
“It feels like time out
and it’s nice and
creative”
