Mosaic mural with Kate Derbyshire on 'The Elements' as part of week long Art Festival

 

Thornwell Primary School - During the very last week of the summer term, the six classes in the Junior Department created two wonderful mosaics with artist Kate Derbyshire for the wall in the hallway linking their classrooms. It is a quiet space where the pupils can read with a large window overlooking the courtyard garden, so a theme representing the elements was chosen. They sent their ideas and designs to Kate at home, who then worked them out for the murals. She then arrived at school armed with all the equipment and tiles. Over the best part of a week everyone worked very hard to create the two panels, the one on the left representing wind and fire and the other, earth and water.
