Earth Week Legacy Project
29-05-2015, 09:34 AMHey families & friends,
Although Earth Week has been over for quite some time, Senior OSC made a point of creating a legacy to leave behind in honour of the special occasion. As a group, we were invited by West Richmond Community Centre to go over and help add some colour to the Hugh Boyd artificial turf area. Located around the perimeter of the field are several cement blocks plain in colour. It was our job to add a spark to the blocks and 'bring them to life'. The children paired up and were assign one side of the block to do whatever they'd like.
We got our creative juices flowing, our paint rollers at the ready and away...we...went....
The inspiration for the block
was drawn from a spectrum of different techniques including tape painting, abstract painting, splatter painting and even the 'X-men'.

Overall, the project was a great success and it was really awesome to be able to leave behind something the kids help create. Now every time they walk by the art block they can say "hey, I helped create that", and I personally think that's a really cool thing to be able to say!
Best Regards,
Matt
