Isn't this a great wall? I came across it in Barcelona in 2001 whilst on holiday. What I loved was the contributions made by such obviously different personalities. On the right hand side you can spot the influence of Picasso's Guernica.
Kids creativity is something we all love to see, trouble is it's not always in the most appropriate place. Yet a wall is a really good place to work. Urban artists think so too.
Koloron Art Fabric is one answer because it can be stretched and taped against a wall. Young artists can go mad and you can roll the work up and store it really simply. If you get your class to sign and date it first it becomes a great record. Taped up for all to see at a summer fete they're real talking points and because kids follow trends and fashions they are also historical records. Invite your lot to record a national event, perhaps their memories of the Olympics or paint a mural of the football crowd at a local game. Might even make the local paper.
Near where I live they want to build an Eco Town. I think I have enough to say to fill a 30ft x 5ft piece of Koloron.
