Schools

Give your pupils the chance to collaborate on a mutual project that will directly enhance their school environment.

Facilitated by experienced artists, the pupils work together organising ideas and making artistic decisions with our staff through a range of specialised workshops using a range of materials.

By involving the students in every step of the design process we enable them to feel a part of the final creation that is completed in our studios. We believe that by giving students the chance to have an active role in improving their school or community’s visual surroundings, we can enhance their connection to their place of learning and nurture healthy development.

Improving mental and physical wellbeing in schools through interactive art

Interactive Wellbeing Walls for schools

The school playground serves as one of the most important developmental spaces for young minds and bodies. According to the Mental Health Foundation, mental health problems affect about one in 10 children and young people. In 2018, over one in five children in the first year of primary school were overweight or obese.

Art4Space have been improving mental wellbeing through the arts for 20 years. Now we are using our expertise to get kids actively thinking about healthy eating, doing physical and mental exercises, using mindfulness techniques and engaging with nature.

We’ve developed a vibrant, interactive version of the playground trim trail that encourages both physical and mental wellbeing through exercise games, sound, breathwork meditations and brainteasers.

Playground regeneration

With the help of NBC Universal, Art4Space transformed another playground at Stockwell Primary School, with an interactive mural that stretches 100m around the entire playground.
