playgrounds. The rhythm of the project disrupted the usual pattern of the school day
and this was experienced as motivational, even liberating as was working in groups
and producing artwork on a much larger scale.
4/resistant: .. we go outside, which we don’t go often, and we do a lot of big art stuff
than... in the classroom.
On one level, pupils’ participation in a high profile project provided them with a sense
they were involved in something different and worthwhile.
3/unfathomable: It was interesting because it got a lot of people involved like the
government and artists and stuff like that.
Indeed, the opportunity for pupils to show their work in a public space other than
school was itself motivational.
3/resistant: . I think other schools came as well, and other schools really liked it a
lot.
2/resistant: . it was really good because we got a chance of showing our art to other
people. I think others should get the chance to do it as well.
2/good: To have a private viewing at this age is really nice because it’s something
you can put down that you’ve done and something you can be proud of, which is
good. I got to work with my friends and stuff, that’s nice.
