Last half term, the children in KS1 were inspired by a range of modern and more traditional artists for Eden Park’s very own art gallery. They worked incredibly hard to master the skills and techniques of a particular artist to create their own masterpiece which imitates the class artists’ work. The grand opening took place on Thursday 24^th May and was opened by Tina Stockman from the Strand Art Gallery in Brixham. The gallery was a huge success as the children toured their friends and family around, explaining the different artists and even holding workshops in the classroom. A massive thank you to Tina who also very kindly donated a beautiful canvas painting to Eden Park of Brixham harbour in the snow.

“All of the children were so articulate both during their visit to the gallery and showing their artwork in school. It was lovely to hear them talking about the art.” Tina – The Strand Art Gallery

“I enjoyed the whole experience and loved how interactive it was.”

“My daughter has expressed a keen desire to continue with art and is constantly doing this at home.”
