Glenephant

Created by: The Hall Primary School
Location: Fosse Neighbourhood Centre & Library

Overview

The whole school had the opportunity to submit design ideas for painting the elephant. We selected two winners but the final design was a collaborative effort. Lots of people made a contribution. The project was driven forward by the school council – who did most of the painting. We wanted a design that celebrated the beauty and fragility of the natural world and contained familiar images from our school. The children wanted the sculpture to be a celebration of life.
