Chalice Arts has provided several very successful art projects for us and these are now on display in our school. Steve came to our school with all the resources ready to work with the children. The projects were well planned in consultation with our staff so they enriched our curriculum and Catholic ethos. Our children have enjoyed working with an art specialist. We also benefitted from photographs Steve produced and help with displays. We have appreciated all Steve has done for us.
Chalice Arts came to our school well-equipped and set up the workspace quickly and efficiently. Our G&T children enjoyed the challenge of working with a new medium of acrylic paint on canvas boards. The meticulous instruction had the children totally engrossed in the project and we were impressed with the high quality of the finished pieces of work. We are very keen for Steve to return!
Stephen Bruce visited Leopold School to deliver INSETS for the teachers and TA's, following on he spent time working on the displays in the school hall. Stephen lifted the standard of creativity within the school and we received many impressive comments from parents. We were very pleased with the outcome and look forward to working with Stephen again on a painting project with KS2.
