Due to Covid-19, the artworks were created both at home and in school, showing the strength of spirit and imagination of the artists and young people in the face of a global pandemic.
These exciting works will be exhibited through physical and digital displays at different sites and venues across Coventry as an opportunity to see how creative our future generation is outside the classroom.
Project Background
Rivers of the World creates collaborative artworks inspired by river themes and environmental studies, linking primary and secondary schools in the UK with partner schools in developing countries around the world. The two-year programme encourages pupils to learn about their local river in the first year, then learning about a river in another country in the second year. Working with a local artist, ideas are channelled creatively into drawings, paintings, photographs, sculpture and other visual media.
Supported by funding from Arts Council England and the British Council
