What is ‘Look Out London’?
As part of Children's Art Day 2010, a new competition was created to celebrate the creativity of children and young
people in schools throughout London.
The theme this year was 'Look Out London'. We wanted to see visual work by groups and individuals, showing they
have been looking at spaces and places in London in new ways. Pupils could:
- be inspired by artists or artworks, streets or buildings to look again and to see places in fresh ways
- watch how a particular place is changing over time
- look into the future and imagine how places could be different
- look out for others, thinking about where and how we all live together.
We were pleased see groups getting out further a field, working with galleries, and looking at art and buildings
around London. Alternatively you could explore your school and locality in creative ways. Working with an artist on
either of these is welcomed.
