The creative process
Jacqueline wanted to bring beauty into the centre of the school and to make it a place where every child could have a chance to display their creativity for the whole school to appreciate.
With input from the architectural team, she has designed a colour scheme for the courtyard windows and magnetic enamel panels that will line the circulation space that the children will use on a daily basis. This will embed artwork into the school design. The soft colours of the glass around the central courtyard will create a beautiful inner space that changes and is affected by constantly shifting external and internal light conditions. The enamel panels are like giant notice boards. By using magnets, the children will be able to display their work, large or small. The panels are a mix of pattern and colour with an oak leaf design. The theme of trees is continued in the entrance space with a cut out hanging sculpture made from silhouettes of leaves.
