St Columbus




Dan & I had two great days working at St Columbus Catholic Boys School in Bexleyheath. We were also assisted by Eliana one of our flight paths artists who was extremely helpful.



Dan & I were both printing banners in separate but adjoining art rooms with a group of 15 -20 students each. On day one we both had Y9 groups on day 2 we both had Y7 groups. On day one Dan was allocated ‘Aboriginal’ art as a theme & I was given ‘Africa’. The school was very good at providing a range of support material to work from.
These two banners are going to be hung in the school hall alongside the one I did at St C’ last year.



Day 2 the chosen theme was Renaissance art with a religious focus. The banners are both going to be hung in the schools chapel. Dan & I designed the banners together so they had a similar look, his chosen central figure was Jesus & I did Mary..

Both days got quite competitive between the two groups and Day 2 was dubbed the ‘Renaissance War’ as both groups were convinced their banners were better than the other.. I think we were both quite ambitious in our Banner designs on day 2 as we were both printing frantically through all breaks to finish in time.. which we did!

The School was very pleased with all the work. SP
