Creative kids - part 2


That same afternoon, Kay worked with children from Oakway Infants School, using giant birds and worms in paper which she had prepared earlier. The children concentrated hard and had fun, decorating the shapes with tissue paper. They then laid their finished artwork in the playground to admire!

Being creative is about having creative ideas, not just being able to draw or paint. If you're interested in a creative career or work with children or teenagers who are, check out yourcreativefuture.org.uk 

It's a UK-based website sponsored by the Department for Culture/Media/Sport, the Design Council and Arts Council England (ie lots of big wigs!).

The website has loads of ideas about creative careers, whether you fancy having a go at being a photographer, journalist, designer, textile artist, fashionista, film director, painter, illustrator, sculptor, ceramicist, game creator, computer programmer ... or whatever you like!
