We chose Alma Thomas as our inspiration for our artwork this year and the children were incredibly enthusiastic about her style of art. Alma Thomas was known for her powerful form of brilliantly coloured and richly patterned abstract art, intimately connected to the natural world and her curiosity around air and space travel. She was also the first African American woman to have a solo exhibition at New York's Whitney Museum of American Art and exhibited her paintings at the White House three times.The children’s artwork formed a vibrant expression of Alma Thomas’s style, and when displayed together forms a beautiful river of Black History art, intertwined with the natural environment around us, and celebrating the beauty that we all represent.
This year the children will be having Christmas Dinner on Thursday 19th December. This is the same date as Christmas Jumper/Party Dress Day.
We can't wait to see all the amazing and sparkly outfits!
