Spring Brook pupils create their own brilliant art exhibition

Rylan and Maxwell show off their artwork

Children from Class 2 at the Spring Brook Lower school in Oldham hosted their own art exhibition in a bid to showcase the work they have created this half-term.   

The pupils at the special primary school for children with a range of social, emotional and mental-health difficulties, have been learning about how different artists have used colour.  

They've made colour wheels, and learned about primary, secondary, warm/cool and complementary colours.  

They then researched work by Jackson Pollock, copying his expressionist style, and Andy Warhol's Pop Art. 

They have created QR codes that visitors to the exhibition could scan to hear the pupils talking about what they have learned and how they have used the same skills in their own work.  

Pupils and staff were joined by other pupils and parents who were blown away by the quality of the pieces produced by their children.  

The children were hoping to be able to sell enough items/receive donations in order to buy a waffle maker for class.
