Pearson Primary Portraits, Class 5
From 7 December 2022 – 30 March 2023, artist Esther Cawley completed an artist residency at Pearson Primary School, working with Class 5 over eleven sessions to explore the theme of identity.
The pupils explored the medium of self-portraiture and expressed themselves creatively through different art forms including painting, drawing and sculpture.
The vibrancy and variety in the works is a celebration of the diversity of personal identities within the class.
