Pupils design totem poles with local artist

Posted by Charlene Mitchell on Apr 29, 09 01:03 PM in Schools/colleges

CHILDREN got involved in making totem poles as part of an annual arts week.

Pupils at Coteford Infant School, in Fore Street, Eastcote, took a break from their usual lessons to do lots of exciting art activities.

Deputy headteacher, Kim Sahi, said: "Throughout the week we had lots of artists in school to share their great work and teach the children new art skills.

"We were really lucky to have a visit from a local artist from Harrow called Lawrence Mathias who worked with each of our classes to create beautiful and bright totem poles.
"He used everyday objects including stools and tables and transformed them.

"Our children got very involved with helping to cut pieces of wood and make their own designs.

"These are now a permanent feature in our conservation area for us all to enjoy."

We'd like to hear from you.
