Community Project

We would like to invite the wider community to be a part of this art initiative.  When our isolation is over we hope to plant a field of flowers in our school and invite our wider community to share in the experience of walking through our field of flowers.  We need your help to create this.  We have created some flower samples for you to look at to gain inspiration but as times have shown we all need to innovate and adapt.  

The one rule for these flowers is that they need a stem so they can stand up in the ground by themselves.  This initiative could be a way of sharing a remote experience with grandparents, maybe you can ask your Mum and Dad if people at their work would like to create a flower or flowers.  

Our school art blog has been visited many times by countries from all over the world.  I wonder if some of those international visitors can create a similar installation in another country.  It would be wonderful if you could write a message of hope to accompany your flower and we will add these to the installation.  Imagine a field of hundreds of flowers....just imagine.  

I am posting images of participants flowers. TNPS students, do you recognise the model in the picture?  She is someone close to a teacher at the school!!

Our flowers represent resilience, new beginnings, beauty and hope.
After we have invited the wider community to wander through our field, the students from Turramurra North Public School will gather the flowers into bouquets and send them to our front line workers as a gesture of gratitude.

Thank you so much to the wonderful, creative thoughtful and kind students of Pymble Public.  Students have not only created these beautiful, imaginative flowers but they have so very kindly donated them to our school to be part of our Field of flowers in September, what a generous gift.  We look forward to sending you a very special invitation to our community collaborative art project.

This week we received some very creative images from some wonderfully creative ladies at the Cotswolds Village.  Thank you Barbara, Jackie, Margaret and Lize.  These are incredible and you are wonderful!

 

 This young artist has put hours into her beautiful work.  Look closely, she has created flowers, animals and insects out of wool, what an inspiration, thank you Miss C.

I love it when artist innovate.  This young artist has up cycled curtain rings to create these beautiful flowers and made pompoms attached to sticks, wonderful work Master F.

These stunning flowers have arrived at school.  They are by a student, a parent, a grandparent and a grandparent's friend.  Thank you so much for you kindness.
