Sparking creativity
To support and encourage schools involvement in the Young Pavement Artists Competition, we have produced a series of lesson ideas. These can be used to help inspire and educate young people on a variety of animals, plants and extreme weather patterns.
The resources are free to download from this website and have been created for teachers or group organisers to either use as a standalone lesson, or as a series to use through the spring and summer 2010 terms.
They can also be used by community and youth groups looking to inspire young minds.
