Original Oakley
Created by: Oaklands School
Location: Leicester Print Workshop – Window
Overview
Oaklands wanted to represent the beautiful, colourful spectrum of the children who attend the school. The children were encouraged to decorate the oak leaves, which represent the school and the amazing oak tree that grows at the front of it. They used as many different colours as possible to represent the amazing diversity of people with autism. The children had a wonderful time decorating Original Oakey with the leaves and they are all very excited to hopefully visit the sculpture soon!
